Summary
Giardia is recognized as the most frequent causes of parasitic intestinal disease.Transmission is usually 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 disease is characterized by watery diarrhea, nausea, abdominal cramps, bloating, weight loss and malabsorption lasting for several weeks. Chronic or asymptomatic infection can also occur. The parasite has been implicated in several major waterborne outbreaks in the United States.
