Definition
A microscopic parasite that infects the small intestine and causes a disease called giardiasis, often spread through contaminated water.
Etymology
Named after Stanisław Jablonowski, a Polish scientist, but the name Latinized as 'Giardia' by zoologist Alfred Giard in 1879. The scientific naming reflects 19th-century traditions of naming organisms after researchers who studied them.
Kelly Says
Giardia is one of the most common waterborne parasites worldwide, and it's why hikers and campers boil water or use filters—it's an invisible threat that thrives in even pristine-looking mountain streams!
