Abstract
The estimates of overall strange quark production in high energy e+e-, pp and ppbar collisions by using the statistical-thermal model of hadronisation are presented and compared with previous works. The parametrization of strangeness suppression within the model is discussed. Interesting regularities emerge in the strange/non-strange produced quark ratio which turns out to be fairly constant in elementary collisions while it is twice as large in SPS heavy ion collision.
