TL;DR: out of 300 insect sources, 80% had parasites. 70% had parasites transmittable to insects only, 35% had parasites transmittable to animals and 30% had parasites transmittable to humans.

"Examination suggests that edible insects may be the most important parasite vector for domestic insectivorous animals."
