Description
Color enhanced scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a cyst form of the parasitic protozoan Giardia lamblia, the cause of giardiasis. Cysts are passed in the feces of an infected host, and infect the next host when it ingests cysts in food or water contaminated with feces. Mature Giardia lamblia trophozoites attach themselves to the small intestine of the host, causing diarrhea.
