AB  - Giardia  intestinalis  (former  names:  Giardia  lamblia  or  Giardia  duodenalis)  is  a  protozoan  flagellate  that  is  among  the  most  common  disease-causing  parasites  in  both  developed  and  developing  countries.  It  is  one  of  the  most  frequently  identified  agents  of  waterborne  diarrhea.  Cases  are  especially  common  in  areas  with  inadequate  water  and  sanitation  facilities.  Humans  are  the  major  reservoir  of  infection,  although  other  mammals,  such  as  dogs,  cats,  and  beavers,  may  be  colonized  and  excrete  cysts.  Massive  epidemics  have  occurred  after  the  contamination  of  reservoirs,  lakes,  and  streams,  especially  when  community  water  supplies  are  not  adequately  filtered.
