A second generation monoclonal antibody-based ELISA for the qualitative detection of Giardia lamblia in fecal specimens.

Giardia lamblia is a binucleated flagellated protozoan parasite that infects the small intestine. Infection typically results in chronic debilitating diarrhea, weight loss and malabsorption.

The disease often results following the drinking of contaminated water and travel to areas that have endemic giardiasis. Transmission also occurs by direct contact, especially with asymptomatic carriers and by food contamination.

High risk categories include young children, immunocompromised patients, and those without previous exposure. More recently, giardiasis has been recognized as a sexually transmitted disease.

The GIARDIA II test is a monoclonal antibody-based ELISA for the rapid detection of Giardia lamblia cyst antigen in fecal specimens. The test serves as an in vitro diagnostic aid for giardiasis.
