Giardiasis, or Beaver Fever, is a parisitic disease which can be transmitted through water supplies as well as by contact with humans or animals. Because beavers were suspected as the source of the first outbreaks detected. in Colorado, Giardiasis became known as Beaver Fever. However, the organism has also been isolated from other animals including dogs, cats, horses, deer, sheep, coyotes and muskrats. While there have been no known outbreaks of Giar- diasis from municipal drinking water supplies in Ontario, water-related epidemics have been iden- tified in Alberta and several U.S. states. Scientists feel it is unlikely that the disease has spread dramatically in the 'short period it has been identified. It is more pro- bable that modern medicine can now identify Giardiasis infections which previous- ly were misdiagnosed as other gastric ailments. Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, August 14, 1985, page 5 Beaver Fever and water supplies Beaver Fever can be characterized by nausea, anorexia, cramps, diarrhea and flatulence. None of these things are pleasant, but scientists stress that Giardiasis is not regarded as a life-threatening infec- tion. Researchers say it is a "well-adjusted parasite, which does not want to kill the host it feeds on."" Men- tal institutions, because of the possibility of lower levels of personal hygiene, are highrisk situations for Giardiasis infections. The disease is caused by the organism Giardia lamblia, a protozoan parasite of the Order Prtotomonadina. In spite of its formidable scientific name, it-is not at all a_ life-threatening disease. At least half the in- fections of Giardia lamblia may produce no symp- toms. Chronic, subacute and acute symptoms do oc- cur with infections which, if persistent, can cause serious fatigue and weight loss. The disease can last for as long as three months, after which, the body either eliminates the parasite, or it comes to terms with it, often with a little negative effect. Giardia lamblia has two stages in its life cycle: a trophozoite, and a cyst. Trophozoites appear as pear-shaped cells with sucking disks on their ven- tral surface by. which they attach themselves to their host's intestines. They range in sizefrom 9 to 21 microns long, (a micron is a thousandth of a millimetre) by 6 to 12 microns wide. Quite fragile, the trophozoites cannot survive outside their hosts. The egg-shaped cysts are approximately the same size but have smooth walls and are much tougher than the trophozoites. These cysts can survive in quite hostile environments for long periods, especial- ly in cold water. They have been known to survive as long as 77 days in water at eight degrees C, but sur- vival time drops to between five to 24 days in water at 20 degrees C. They can also resist levels of free chlorine which wouid kill most bacteria and viruses present in water during normal water treatment. The disease in humans begins when the parasite is ingested as a cyst and passes into the stomach where the acid triggers a change in the cyst, releas- ing what are now trophozoites. These attach themselves to the intestine walls. There they absorb food, reproduce and release their offspring into the digestive tract, where they once more encyst.
