Faecal samples from asymptomatic dairy cows and calves from a farm on the Island Falster, Denmark, were examined by a sucrose gradient flotation technique. Giardia cysts were found in 7.6% of the 92 samples, and estimated cyst excretion rates ranged from 50-200 cysts per gram faeces. Given that Giardia has the potential to cause clinical disease in cattle and to be transmitted to other animal species and humans, finding the parasite in cattle may be of major epidemiological significance. Future work should focus on elucidating the pathogenicity, transmission patterns and the genetic structure of Giardia populations in cattle in Denmark.
采用蔗糖梯度浮选技术对来自丹麦法尔斯特岛一个农场的无症状奶牛和小牛的粪便样本进行了检测。在92份样本中，7.6%发现了贾第虫囊肿，估计囊肿排泄率为每克粪便50 - 200个囊肿。鉴于贾第虫有可能在牛身上引发临床疾病，并传播给其他动物物种和人类，在牛身上发现这种寄生虫可能具有重大的流行病学意义。未来的工作应侧重于阐明丹麦牛群中贾第虫种群的致病性、传播模式和遗传结构。
