Giardiasis (Giardia)

Giardiasis is a diarrheal illness caused by Giardia intestinalis (also known as Giardia lamblia  or Giardia duodenalis), a one-celled, microscopic protozoan parasite that lives in the intestine of people and animals.

During the past 2 decades, Giardia has become recognized as one of the most common causes of waterborne illness (drinking and recreational) in humans in the United States.
