title: Demographics of Giardia infections in Bergen, Norway, subsequent to a waterborne outbreak.
abstract: Young women have previously been reported as the predominant group infected during a waterborne giardiasis outbreak, due to elevated water consumption. Here, the demographics of those subsequently infected are described, and young women again predominate. As secondary cases were not waterborne, this cannot be attributed to drinking habits.
