Giardia Ag TEST

One Step Giardia Antigen Test

Giardia is a microscopic parasite that causes intestinal disease. It can be transmitted by food or sniffing the cysts from the contaminated ground or by drinking contaminated water. The symptoms include diarrhea, excess gas, stomach or abdominal cramps, vomiting, weight loss, and nausea. Infected dogs tend to have excess mucus in the feces. Giardia can cause diarrhea in humans and can potentially be passed from dogs to humans. In the past, it was assumed that cats and dogs, along with wildlife, were known to give infections to humans. Genotype A can infect humans, dogs, and cats while B can infect both humans and dogs.
