Epidemiology. Giardiasis is a common protozoal disease in children and adults. Giardia is ubiquitous. Among children, the incidence is up to 70%. On average, every fifth person is sick with giardiasis. Man is the only reservoir of infection; lamblia also parasitizes in the body of dogs, kittens, and rodents. Giardia cysts are excreted in the feces and remain viable for up to 70 days, in tap water – up to 3 months.
