title: Giardia lamblia.
abstract: Giardia is the most frequently identified enteric parasite in the United States, but much is not known about host-parasite interaction. Advances using immunodiagnostic techniques, endonuclease restriction analysis, surface-antigen detection methods, and measuring homologous and heterologous antibody responses are beginning to clarify the biology of Giardia.
