Sumario:Although Giardia has a long history, it is only recently that the clinical impact of Giardia in children has been recognized. Similarly, the emergence of Giardiaas a frequent parasite of companion animals, livestock and wildlife raises questions about the clinical and zoonotic significance of such infections. Transmission patterns have already been described but the frequency of interaction between cycles of transmission is only just beginning to be addressed in molecular epidemiological studies. The application of molecular tools has provided information which sets the scene for revising the taxonomy of Giardia. With the completion of the Giardia genome sequencing project, it is hoped that it will soon be possible to compare genome and phenome and provide information of practical value for the control of Giardia, as well as increasing our understanding of the evolution and phylogenetic relationships of Giardia.
