The question of giardiasis has been known in the literature for a long time and consists in the parasitism of special protozoa from the Flageilata group. They were first described by Lamblʹem in 1859 and called cercomonas. Grassi later described them as Megastoma intestinalis and this name has been found in the literature to this day. Blanchard, in honor of the first who discovered them, gave this simplest the name Lamblia intestinalis. In French and English literature, it appears under the name Giardia intestinalis.
