Abstract

Symptoms of giardiasis vary widely - partly owing to host characteristics and partly, perhaps, to different 'strains' of the parasite. In parallel, the immune response to Giardia also varies - involving humoral and cellular components both in the serum and the intestinal mucosa. In this article, Neal denHollander, Doone Riley and Dean Befus take a critical look at accumulating information about Giardia immunology, and discuss how the miscellany of factors may contribute to the immunopathology of the disease.
