Giardiasis
Giardiasis is a disease that is caused by infection with the intestinal flagellate, Giardia lamblia. The trophozoite of Giardia lamblia lives in the small intestine of humans and other mammals. Infection with G. lamblia is common worldwide and can result in severe diarrhea, though it does not cause dysentery.
