Giardia spp. are flagellates that are found in the intestinal tract of humans and
other mammals, birds and amphibians. Infections with giardia have been
reported widely in livestock and companion animals in different parts of the
world. Evidence of infection in humans and animals of Giardia duodenalis.
especially of assemblage A and B has firmly established giardiasis as a zoonotic
disease. At ruminants giardiasis usually result with diarrhea, especially in young
animals, which in turn adversely affect production resulting in economic loses.
So far, no research has been done related to giardiasis in small ruminat and cattle
in Serbia, and here we present the results of the first studies of the presence of
giardiasis in ruminants in our country.
