Abstract :

Giardia is a parasite that can survive in swimming pools and can cause Giardiasis, a diarrheal illness. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), diarrhea caused by Giardia is very common in the United States especially among children in day care centers and abroad. The parasites are found on surfaces or materials contaminated with feces from an infected person or animal including water, soil, food, or hands. As such it is important to know about them and observe various precautions to prevent contamination.
