Giardiasis and Uveitis

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1961
Giardiasis is caused by a protozoan flagellate, Giardia lamblia. Although Barraquer 1 associated this organism with certain lesions of the eye in 1938, there have been few reports since that time. Braley and Hamilton 2 in 1956 associated another protozoan, Entamoeba histolytica with macular lesions of the eye. A similar case was reported by us.

The epidemiology of giardiasis

Parasitology Today, 1985
Giardiasis is now known to occur not only endemically, but also as an epidemic disease spread primarily via drinking water. Giardia from different animals, although morphologically indistinguishable, vary in host specificity.

Giardiasis in a horse

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1985
Giardia infection was believed responsible for chronic diarrhea, weight loss, lethargy, inappetence, and dermatitis in a 4-year-old Thoroughbred horse.

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1980
