The Irish Journal of Medical Science, 1956
A description of the parasite Giardia lamblia is given. Literature on the infestation in man of this parasite is reviewed. Twenty cases of the infestation in children in Ireland are described. In an investigation of the families of eight patients, a further five cases, all without symptoms, were discovered.

Parasitology Today, 1988
Symptoms of giardiasis vary widely - partly owing to host characteristics and partly, perhaps, to different 'strains' of the parasite. In parallel, the immune response to Giardia also varies - involving humoral and cellular components both in the serum and the intestinal mucosa.

Medical Journal of Australia, 1976
Four methods of diagnosing giardiasis are compared. Examination of smear preparations made from the jeunal biopsy specimen showed positive results in all of the 20 consecutive cases of giardiasis reported. The test was more reliable than examination of histological sections of the jejunal biopsy, wet preparations of jejunal aspirate, or faecal smears.

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 1987
Giardia spp. are common, yet frequently overlooked, parasites of small animals. These parasites may cause chronic diarrhea in dogs and cats. This article discusses the clinical signs of giardiasis, and its diagnosis, treatment, and control.

Publisher Summary Organisms in the genus Giardia are widely distributed, flagellated protozoan parasites of all classes of vertebrates. Giardia is an intestinal protozoan parasite of humans.. Under appropriate conditions, they can cause disease. This chapter summarizes the progress in the study of Giardia and its relation with its host.

The Lancet, 1977
Recently acquired giardiasis was suspected in 199 patients because of typical symptoms following a trip to a known endemic area. In 130 cases giardiasis was confirmed by stool examination, although most of the samples obtained less than 3 wk after probable infection were negative for Giardia lamblia.

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1985
Giardia sp infection was believed responsible for chronic, intermittent diarrhea in a group of 14 Persian cats. Seven of the cats were shedding Giardia sp cysts, and 6 of these cats had diarrhea at the time of fecal examination. Conversely, only 1 of 6 clinically normal cats in the group was shedding Giardia sp cysts.

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1975
Giardiasis is still regularly encountered in the United States, both as endemic cases from the local community as well as in patients returning from travel abroad. Giardiasis should be suspected in any child with steatorrhea, unexplained chronic diarrhea (especially if associated with growth failure), weight loss, or abdominal pain and bloating ...
