Giardia: A parasite with human face look-a-like.

Giardia, a microscopic single cell protozoan parasite, lives and multiplies in oxygen deprived (anaerobic) environment of the intestinal tract. It is the most frequent cause of non-bacterial diarrhea, giardiasis, in North America. Under the microscope it looks like a human face with its two nuclear bodies appearing as eyes and a groove resembling a mouth. Giardia is highly infective and can start an infection by ingestion of only 10 cysts that can remain on a pin head. The transmission of person to person infection can occur primarily via improperly washed hands. Because one does not develop immunity to giardiasis, a person can repeatedly get infected. The existence of many strains of giardia can also add to multiple episodes of the infection. Although often not debilitating, giardiasis is an annoying, unpleasant and inconvenient infection especially during travel.

Did your doctor say you got stomach flu?

Often one goes to the doctor complaining of headache, fever, and stomach ache, vomiting and diarrhea and the doctor says it may be stomach flu. Although referred to as stomach flu, the causative agent most often is not influenza virus. A number of viruses as well as some bacteria (such as salmonella E,coli etc.) or parasites (such as Giardia) may display similar symptoms of gastroenteritis. Gastroenteritis is caused by many different viruses including rotaviruses; noroviruses; adenoviruses (types 40 and 41). saporoviruses; and astroviruses.
