#Giardiasis is not a disease of tropical or developing countries. It concerns the entire world! Still, data on the drug resistance of Giardia is not collected systematically, as it is done for bacterial #enteropathogens. There is no #vaccine for giardiasis prevention for humans either.

Our very ancient ancestor and our parasite nowadays - Giardia. #Giardias are unicellular #protozoa in the #Diplomonada order. There are 8 species A to H, and subspecies within each group. A and B species infect humans all over the world, causing millions of cases of diarrhea!

Meet #Giardia duodenalis, a cute protist from #Diplomonada order. Despite its cute looks, it's not cool when it infects you! It causes fatty #diarrhea, #malabsorption & #dehydration. So wash your hands, food & consume clean water, especially when traveling or camping.
Safe holidays!
