{{Stub}} Gardia lamblia, also known as '''gardia''', '''giardia intestinalis''' or '''giardia duodenalis''', is a microscopic [[parasite]] and causes the intestinal infection [[giardiasis]]. ==ME/CFS== In 2004, in a region of Bergen, [[Norway]], 1252 people were exposed to gardia lamblia through a contaminated water supply. A significant number of these subsequently developed [[chronic fatigue syndrome]] and/or [[irritable bowel syndrome]]. The Bergen outbreak of CFS has resulted in a number of long-term studies assessing the immunology of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome.<ref name="Hanevik2012" /><ref name="CFS2013" /><ref name="cellular2017"/><ref name="Stormorken2017" /><ref name="Litleskare2018" /> ==Notable studies== '''2004 Bergen outbreak''' * 2012, Immunophenotyping in post-giardiasis functional gastrointestinal disease and chronic fatigue syndrome<ref name="Hanevik2012">{{Cite journal | last = Hanevik | first = Kurt | authorlink = Kurt Hanevik | last2 = Kristoffersen | first2 = Einar K. | authorlink2 = | last3 = Sørnes | first3 = Steinar | authorlink3 = | last4 = Mørch | first4 = Kristine | authorlink4 = | last5 = Næss | first5 = Halvor | authorlink5 = | last6 = Rivenes | first6 = Ann C. | authorlink6 = | last7 = Bødtker | first7 = Jørn E. | last8 = Hausken | first8 = Trygve | last9 = Langeland | first9 = Nina | date = 2012-10-14 | title = Immunophenotyping in post-giardiasis functional gastrointestinal disease and chronic fatigue syndrome | url = https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2334-12-258|journal=BMC Infectious Diseases|language=en|volume=12|issue=1 | pages = 258|doi=10.1186/1471-2334-12-258|issn=1471-2334|pmc = 3553045|pmid=23061432|access-date=|quote=|via=}}</ref> - [https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/1471-2334-12-258 (Full text)] * 2013, Chronic fatigue syndrome 5 years after giardiasis: differential diagnoses, characteristics and natural course<ref name="CFS2013">{{Cite journal | last = Mørch | first = Kristine | authorlink = | last2 = Hanevik | first2 = Kurt | authorlink2 = Kurt Hanevik | last3 = Rivenes | first3 = Ann C | authorlink3 = | last4 = Bødtker | first4 = Jørn E | authorlink4 = | last5 = Næss | first5 = Halvor | authorlink5 = | last6 = Stubhaug | first6 = Bjarte | authorlink6 = | last7 = Wensaas | first7 = Knut-Arne | authorlink7 = | last8 = Rørtveit | first8 = Guri | author-link8 = Guri Rørtveit | last9 = Eide | first9 = Geir E | author-link9 = | date = 2013-02-12 | title = Chronic fatigue syndrome 5 years after giardiasis: differential diagnoses, characteristics and natural course | url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3598369/|journal=BMC Gastroenterology|volume=13|issue= | pages = 28|doi=10.1186/1471-230X-13-28|issn=1471-230X|pmc=3598369|pmid=23399438|access-date=|quote=|via=}}</ref> - [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3598369/ (Full text)] * 2017, ''Giardia''-specific cellular immune responses in post-giardiasis chronic fatigue syndrome<ref name="cellular2017">{{Cite journal | last = Hanevik | first = Kurt | authorlink = Kurt Hanevik | last2 = Kristoffersen | first2 = Einar | authorlink2 = | last3 = Mørch | first3 = Kristine | authorlink3 = | last4 = Rye | first4 = Kristin Paulsen | authorlink4 = | last5 = Sørnes | first5 = Steinar | authorlink5 = | last6 = Svärd | first6 = Staffan | authorlink6 = | last7 = Bruserud | first7 = Øystein | last8 = Langeland | first8 = Nina | date = 2017-01-28 | title = Giardia-specific cellular immune responses in post-giardiasis chronic fatigue syndrome | url = https://doi.org/10.1186/s12865-017-0190-3|journal=BMC Immunology|language=en|volume=18|issue=1 | pages = 5|doi=10.1186/s12865-017-0190-3|issn=1471-2172|pmc = 5279576|pmid=28129747|access-date=|quote=|via=}}</ref> - [https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s12865-017-0190-3 (Full text)] *2017, From good health to illness with post-infectious fatigue syndrome: a qualitative study of adults’ experiences of the illness trajectory<ref name="Stormorken2017">{{Cite journal | last = Stormorken | authorlink = Eva Stormorken | first = E. | last2 = Jason | first2 =L.
