    Citation Excerpt :

    Intestinal parasitism has clear social and environmental determinants, with higher prevalence rates in areas with poor sanitation, limited access to clean water and poor living conditions (Carvalho-Costa et al., 2007a, 2007b; Brown et al., 2015). Among the protozoan parasites, Giardia duodenalis is present in distinct socio-environmental conditions (Genser et al., 2015; Einarsson et al., 2016). In some countries, reporting of giardiasis is mandatory, as in the United States, where in 2012 approximately 15,000 cases were diagnosed (Painter et al., 2015).
