摘要

Giardiasis is a neglected disease that spreads worldwide from the Arctic [1] to the Tropics [2]. It affects nearly 2% of adults and 6% to 8% of children in developed countries worldwide. Nearly 33% of people in developing countries have had giardiasis [3]. The disease is caused by a binucleated flagellated protozoan parasite Giardia lamblia (synonyms: G. intestinalis and G. duodenalis) that inhabits the small intestine in humans and some other mammals. Giardia has two morphologically distinct developmental stages, the trophozoite and the cyst. The trophozoite resides and replicates in the upper small intestine and is responsible for disease manifestations; in the lower parts of the intestine, encystation occurs, and a thick protective cyst wall is formed in this process. The cyst is the infectious, environmentally resistant stage responsible for transmission [4]. People become infected with Giardia by swallowing Giardia cysts found in contaminated food or water. Cysts are instantly infectious once they leave the host through feces. An infected person might shed 1,000,000,000–10,000,000,000 cysts daily in their feces, and this might last for several months [3]. However, swallowing as few as ten cysts might cause someone to become ill. Giardia is mainly passed as anthroponosis, but zoonotic transmission also occurs. Clinical giardiasis is varied and ranges from asymptomatic passage of cysts to abdominal cramps, nausea, acute or chronic diarrhea, malabsorption, weight loss, and failure of children to thrive in both subclinical and symptomatic disease [4], [5]. Pathology in giardiasis is understood to arise in several ways. These include breakdown of the epithelial barrier, defects in the epithelial brush border, increased secretion of chloride ions, and hypermotility of the intestinal smooth muscles [5]. The factors determining the variability in clinical outcome in giardiasis are still poorly understood. However, host factors (such as genotype, type of microbiota in the gut, immune status, nutritional status, and age) as well as differences in virulence and pathogenicity of Giardia strains are recognized as important determinants for the severity of infection [5].
