贾第鞭毛虫是一种鞭毛虫，范·列文虎克于1681年首次观察到贾第鞭毛虫，兰姆于1859年对其进行了更全面的描述。它最初被认为是人类的共生体，但现在已经清楚地认识到它是腹泻和吸收不良的常见原因。贾第鞭毛虫以流行和散发形式感染全世界数百万人。它通过摄入受污染的水和食物、在托儿中心人与人之间的接触以及男性同性恋活动传播。
Giardia is a protozoan flagellate that was first observed by Van Leeuwenhoek in 1681 and more fully described by Lamb in 1859. It was initially thought to be a commensal in humans, but it is now clearly recognized as a common cause of diarrhea and malabsorption. Giardia infects millions of people throughout the world in both epidemic and sporadic forms. It is trans-mitted through ingestion of contaminated water and food, person-to-person contact in child care centers, and male homosexual activity.
