Posible rol de la gallareta chica ( Fulica leucoptera ) en la contaminación de aguas superficiales con quistes de Giardia sp. (Orden Diplomonadida, fam. Hexamitidae)
Giardia sp. is a genus of endoparasite protozoo of the small intestine, responsible for infections generally asymptomatic, especially in children. They can cause acute, sub acute, and chronic diarrheas and duodenal irritation with increment of the mucus and deficiencies in the absorption of liposolu...
