Beware of zoonoses！- Giardia Lamblia

Giardia Lamblia is a common cause of diarrhea in humans and other mammals worldwide.

The two main genotypes responsible for the infection of animals with Giardia Lamblia are genetically and biologically distinct, so they are classified as different species or subspecies designations. It can contaminate the soil surface as well as water resources through animal droppings, causing widespread spread.

Vechek’s Giardia Lamblia Rapid Test Cassette can detect Giardia lamblia (two subtypes： trophozoite and cysts)in animal’ s feces.

Symptoms of Giardia Lamblia infection :

• Diarrhea
• Gas
• Foul-smelling, greasy poop that can float
• Stomach cramps or pain
• Upset stomach or nausea
• Dehydration

Effects of Giardia Lamblia infection:

• Extensive pollution of water resources, affecting all surrounding animals including humans.
• Weakness of the animal due to diarrhoea, for example leading to thinning of beef cattle and reduced milk production in cows.
• Impacts on farm economy.
