Abstract EN
Giardia duodenalis, is often seen as an opportunistic pathogen and one of the major food and waterborne parasites.
Some insights of Giardia infestation in a diarrhoea-prone population were investigated in the present study.
Our primary goal was to understand the interaction of this parasite with other pathogens during infection and to determine some important factors regulating the diarrhoeal disease spectrum of a population.
Giardia showed a steady rate of occurrence throughout the entire study period with a nonsignificant association with rainfall (P>0.05).
Interestingly coinfecting pathogens like Vibrio cholerae and rotavirus played a significant (P≤0.001) role in the occurrence of this parasite.
Moreover, the age distribution of the diarrhoeal cases was very much dependent on the coinfection rate of Giardia infection.
As per our findings, Giardia infection rate seems to play a vital role in regulation of the whole diarrhoeal disease spectrum in this endemic region.
