Giardia lamblia is one of the common parasites that infect the human intestinal tract. There are two developmental stages in the life history of the worm, the trophozoite and the encyst. The mature tetranuclear encysts are the infective stage, which enter the body with contaminated food or water and parasitize the human small intestine, gallbladder, and mainly the duodenum, causing symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and malabsorption, resulting in giardiasis. Giardiasis is a zoonotic parasitic disease. People are the main source of infection, especially those who carry the encyst, and often one person with the capsule infects the whole family.

Ace Therapeutics specializes in parasitology and has established a parasite culture technology platform that provides culture services for a wide range of parasites. We provide in vitro culture services for Giardia lamblia, aiming to facilitate its experimental diagnosis, parasite morphology, life history (ecology), pathogenesis, epidemiological patterns, immunogenetic characteristics, preservation of insect species, and development of vaccines.

Service Options for Giardia lamblia Culture

We offer Giardia lamblia cultures service, mainly by aseptic culture methods. If you have a request, please contact us.

• Aseptic culture

Giardia lamblia can be cultured aseptically directly from patient feces or duodenal fluid or bile without conversion from a xenic culture or monoxenic culture.

Service Details

Culture medium: Most commonly used is BIS-33 liquid medium containing 10% adult bovine serum and nutrient solution (K₂HPO₄, KH₂PO₄, NaCl, L-cysteine-HCl, vitamin C, ferric amine citrate, glucose, digestive peptone, yeast extract, etc.)
Sample type: feces, duodenal fluid, bile. Samples can be taken directly from the patient's feces or duodenal fluid or bile for aseptic culture.
Other substances: dehydrogenate bovine bile, filter membranes, etc.
Delivery content: Giardia lamblia cultures and report.
Test fee: please get it through online inquiry
