Talk:Epidemiology of Giardia

Elephantlover21 Peer Review
I believe you included a well-rounded amount of information that touched base with all important aspects of giardia. Great use of the Center for Disease Control as a reference. The CDC is well known, and people trust their information. I noticed an inconsistency with how you italicized giardia. Make sure that the word is consistently italicized. Also, the last paragraph could be improved. Some of the wording does not make sense. CoffeeBeanJake (talk) 20:52, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

There is some awesome information added to this article! I really liked how this was an overview and really well done. It was organized well and made complete sense, even when I had never heard of the Giardia disease before. Although there is awesome and in depth information, moving around the paragraphs may be needed for better flow or a better sequence of material and flow of information.

I was also wondering if there would be any in text citations used, or if they will be strictly added to the reference list at the bottom of the Other than that and the slight organizational tweaks, I felt that this addition was extremely well done and covered a large amount of areas and information. It went very well in depth and also contributed to a reading level in which the public would understand. Like I said, I have never heard of this disease before and I perfectly understood the addition so that was a really large selling point for me! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Littlemountain14 (talk • contribs) 17:23, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

Overall, your sandbox looks great. You gathered some great information from reliable, secondary sources. I have a couple of minor corrections/suggestions for you.

The Giardia parasite can cause severe gastrointestinal illness in people who consume water tainted with Giardia cysts and can be linked to hindered child development. While anyone can become infected, it is most commonly seen in young children and the elderly. There are also differences in the symptoms present in the different age groups, which could be used to develop new diagnosis techniques. It has been classified as endemic in many developing countries.

Other the 352 patients, travel to the Indian Subcontinent accounted for 31.2% of the Giardia lamblia infections.

^^I think this sentence needs to be corrected or rephrased. It seems to be the portion that causes some confusion in the last paragraph. --Dz.12 (talk) 03:50, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
