- - Higher rates of Giardia infection were observed in cold semiarid regions (67%) compared to cold desert areas (24%), with indoor and outdoor cats showing similar infection rates.
- - Most Giardia infections were identified as zoonotic assemblage B, with a possible new mutation in the gene associated with this type, suggesting potential risks for zoonotic transmission from cats to humans.

- Intestinal protozoa cause amoebiasis and giardiasis, which are significant health issues, particularly in Ethiopia, but their prevalence and diagnostic practices are often overlooked.
- A study involving 844 schoolchildren in the Amhara region found that 28.8% were infected with either amoebiasis or giardiasis, with specific prevalence rates of 23.8% and 7.3%, respectively, and a 2.6% co-infection rate.
- The study highlighted that risk factors contributing to these infections included age, rural living, improper latrine use, poor hand hygiene, consuming unwashed vegetables, and playing with soil, all of which showed statistical significance.
