Testsealabs Giardia Iamblia Antigen Test
Giardia is recognized as one of the most frequent causes of parasitic intestinal disease.
Transmission usually occurs through the ingestion of contaminated food or water.
Giardiasis in humans is caused by the protozoan parasite Giardia lamblia (also known as Giardia intestinalis).
The acute form of the disease is characterized by:
- Watery diarrhea
- Nausea
- Abdominal cramps
- Bloating
- Weight loss
- Malabsorption
These symptoms typically last for several weeks. Additionally, chronic or asymptomatic infections can occur.
Notably, the parasite has been implicated in several major waterborne outbreaks in the United States.
