Young women have previously been reported as the predominant group infected during a waterborne giardiasis outbreak, due to elevated water consumption. Here, the demographics of those subsequently infected are described, and young women again predominate. As secondary cases were not waterborne, this cannot be attributed to drinking habits.
此前有报道称,在一次水源性贾第虫病暴发期间,年轻女性是主要的感染群体,原因是她们的饮水量增加。在此,本文描述了后续感染者的人口统计学特征,年轻女性再次成为主要群体。由于二代病例并非水源性感染,这不能归因于饮水习惯。
