Giardia lamblia and Cryptosporidium are common waterborne parasites causing diarrhea. This study reviews their life cycles and drinking water treatment methods for parasite removal.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental microbiology
  • Parasitology
  • Public health

Context:

  • Cosmopolitan parasites like Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia, Cryptosporidium parvum, Isospora belli, Balantidium coli, and Microsporidia spp. frequently cause diarrheal diseases.
  • Surface water used for drinking water poses a risk for waterborne parasite transmission.
  • Giardia lamblia and Cryptosporidium spp. are significant etiological agents of waterborne diseases in industrialized nations.

Purpose:

  • To describe the life cycles of Giardia lamblia and Cryptosporidium.
  • To highlight drinking water technologies effective in removing these parasites.
  • To inform public health strategies for preventing waterborne parasitic infections.

Summary:

  • This review details the life cycles of Giardia lamblia and Cryptosporidium, emphasizing their transmission routes via contaminated water supplies.

  • It discusses the public health significance of these parasites as causes of diarrheal diseases.
  • The abstract also covers various drinking water treatment technologies crucial for eliminating these protozoan pathogens.

    • Impact:

    • Enhanced understanding of waterborne parasite transmission routes.
    • Improved strategies for drinking water purification and safety.
    • Reduced incidence of diarrheal diseases caused by Giardia and Cryptosporidium.
