Giardia lamblia

Giardia lamblia (also known as Giardia intestinalis or Giardia duodenalis) is a protozoan parasite that causes giardiasis — a common intestinal infection transmitted through contaminated water, food, or person-to-person contact. Symptoms may include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and malabsorption. Accurate detection is essential for diagnosis, treatment, and outbreak control.
Giardia lamblia PCR kits based on real-time PCR technology provide a sensitive and specific method for detecting G. lamblia (G. intestinalis or G. duodenalis) DNA in human samples. These molecular testing tools deliver accurate and reproducible results in routine and specialized laboratory workflows. Available in research use only (RUO) formats, these PCR assays support a wide range of applications including gastrointestinal infection testing, waterborne disease surveillance, and parasitology research from clinical samples.
