small intestines, cecum, colon, duodenum
Possess whip-like locomotory organelle called
Flagella
Mode of Reproduction of Flagellates
longitudinal binary fission

Reticuloendothelial cells & blood
It is one of the earliest protozoan parasite to have been recorded
Giardia lamblia
He is the one who observed Giardia lamblia in his own stool.
Dutch scientist Antonie von Leeuwenhoek in 1681
He is the one who named it after as “Giardia”.
Professor Giard of Paris
He is the one who named it after as “Lamblia”.
Professor Lamble of Prague
Geographical Distribution
Cosmopolitan
Prevalence in Giardia lamblia
Approximately 1.6 to 22% in the Philippines
Reservoir of Giardia lamblia
Human
Beavers
Dogs
Cats
Sheep
Giardia lamblia mode of transmission
Ingestion of cysts in contaminated water and food
Direct person-to-person transmission:
•children
•male homosexuals
•mentally ill persons
(Arrange Life Cycle)
a. Reproduce by binary fission
b. Excystation occurs in the duodenum and become trophozoites
c. Encystation occurs in the large intestines with water reabsorption
d.Ingestion of viable cysts from continated food and water
e. Trophozoite inhabits the mucosa of duodenum and proximal jejunum (optimal pH: 6.4-7.0)
d,b,e,a,c
2 types or Pathogenic Mechanism
Cytoadherence
Antigenic Variation
It is lead to decreased electrolyte, glucose, and fluid absorption, and cause deficiencies in enzymes
Cytoadherence
Pathogenic stage of Cytoadherence
(Trophozoite)
•Physical barrier
•Mechanical Damage
The results in the entire surface of the parasite being covered with variant-specific surface proteins (VSSPs)
Antigenic Variation
In which help the parasite in envasion of host Immune system
