Giardia lambliais the major identified cause of waterborne enteric disease in the U.S. Nonetheless, knowledge of the biological interactions betweenG. lambliaand the host intestinal milieu is limited. We have proposed that the great variations in the clinical manifestations and duration of giardiasis are due to parasite interactions with both immune and non-immune components of this environments. Investigation of these interactionsin vitrohas begun to yield valuable information on aspects of parasite biology that may determine colonization and persistence of trophozoites in the human small intestine. As summarized below, we have demonstrated powerful non-immune giardiacidal activities of normal human milk (NHM)2and duodenal fluid3and have shown thatGiardiacan utilize certain other host intestinal secretions to survive, attach, multiply, and differentiate4–7.
