A trichrome stain of preserved stool is another method used to detect Giardia. [35] Microscopic examination of the stool can be performed for diagnosis. [1] This method is not preferred, however, due to inconsistent shedding of trophozoites and cysts in infected hosts. [1] Multiple samples over some time, typically one week, must be examined. [1]
Giardia duodenalis, also known as Giardia intestinalis and Giardia lamblia, is a flagellated parasitic protozoan microorganism of the genus Giardia that colonizes the small intestine, causing a diarrheal condition known as giardiasis. [1] [2] [3] The parasite attaches to the intestinal epithelium by a ventral disc (syn.

The common intestinal parasite Giardia duodenalis (synonyms Giardia lamblia, G. intestinalis) was once considered to be a descendant of a protist lineage that predated the emergence of meiosis and sex. However, researchers found G. duodenalis to have a core set of genes that function in meiosis and that are widely present among sexual ...
