A primary intestinal parasitic infection caused by Giardia lamblia, it can be tested by at-home Giardia antigen stool test. Giardia lamblia is mainly transmitted through contaminated water sources, food, and other channels. The main symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, feces with mucus or blood, depression, weight loss, dehydration, and other symptoms. Giardia lamblia is a protozoan parasite that can usually infect a variety of mammals, including cats, dogs, and humans. Pet disinfection and cleaning are very important preventive measures, including regular deworming, strengthening the management of dog and cat feces, eliminating the situation of defecation anywhere, centralized collection and disinfection of infected dog and cat feces, and newly purchased dogs and cats should be isolated and inspected first to confirm that they are not carrying the pathogen of Giardia lamblia before they can be mixed with other dogs and cats.

What is the rapid test for Giardia?
- Fecal smear microscopy: This method detects Giardia by directly visualizing trophozoites in the stool. However, its detection rate is low and may need to be confirmed in combination with other methods.
- ELISA antigen test: This method diagnoses infection by detecting Giardia antigens in stool. ELISA antigen test has high sensitivity and specificity and is suitable for large-scale screening
- Fluorescence detection: Fluorescence detection uses fluorescent antibodies to label Giardia antigens and observes the results under a fluorescence microscope. This method is more accurate but requires professional equipment and operating skills
- PCR (polymerase chain reaction): PCR technology can detect Giardia DNA in feces, with high sensitivity and specificity, and is suitable for confirmed cases. It is a Blood test for Giardia.
