Foodborne Illness Short Answers 1. Giardia is a genus of anaerobic flagellated protozoan parasites of the phylum Retortamonada in the super group “Excavata” that colonize and reproduce in the small intestines of several vertebrates, causing giardiasis. Once a person or animal has been infected with Giardia, the parasite lives in the intestines and is passed in the feces (poop). Once outside the body, Giardia can sometimes survive for weeks or months. Giardia can be found within every region of the United States and around the world.
Other symptoms include stomach pain and tenderness, nausea, anorexia, and occasional fever. Young children, the elderly, and those who are immunocompromised often die from dehydration before the parasite has a chance to attack the liver. Healthy adults can usually survive beyond the initial dehydration and progress into the liver failure stage of Amebiasis, which is difficult and expensive to treat and will ultimately lead to death if left untreated. After breaking through the mucosal lining of the stomach and intestines, the parasite migrates to the liver and begins eating it, causing infected, pus oozing abscesses. Without treatment the abscesses can grow and expand until the liver fails completely.

Unit 9 Shigella Shigella infection (shigellosis) is an intestinal disease caused by a family of bacteria known as shigella. The main sign of shigella infection is diarrhea, which often is bloody. Shigella can be passed through direct contact with the bacteria in the stool. For example, this can happen in a child care setting when staff members don't wash their hands well enough after changing diapers or helping toddlers with toilet training. Shigella bacteria also can be passed in contaminated food or by drinking or swimming in contaminated water.
People who are healthy usually recover quickly; however, people who are elderly or people with other medical illnesses are most at risk for a more severe, prolonged infection. There is no specific treatment for Norovirus because it is a virus, and therefore does not respond to antibiotics. It is important to be sure the patient gets enough fluids to avoid dehydration. Noroviruses are found in the feces and vomit of infected people and can spread very quickly in schools, daycares and medical facilities. It is spread through person to person contact, eating food or
