Summary

Giardia and Cryptosporidium are both parasites of considerable global interest due to the gastrointestinal problems they can cause in humans, as well as domestic and wild animals. Despite its long history as the causative agent of giardiasis, the clinical and zoonotic significance of Giardia infections in humans and animals is only beginning to emerge with the application of molecular tools. Less is known about Cryptosporidium and studies seek to understand the impact of its infection in livestock and other animals, its epidemiology and zoonotic significance.
