Giardia spp are a common cause of diarrhea in small animals but, given how hard they can be to find under the microscope, it’s not always an easy diagnosis. A new study compares the results of an in-clinic Giardia immunochromatographic strip test with double-centrifugation fecal floatation, then examines the same samples using the gold standard PCR and ELISA methods of detection.

Read about the findings to maximize the results of your next hunt for Giardia spp.
