Answer to Case 807

Answer to the Parasite Case of the Week 807: A beautiful Giardia kite by Florida Fan

We had a lot of great comments on this case. Many viewers commented on how 'cute' the kite was, and so easily recognizable. Some wanted to buy the kite for themselves - Florida Fan, you could consider starting a business! 

Here are few other comments that made me laugh:

1. Uni of Nomi said "It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Giardia!
2. Nicole De Young suggested flying a Flagyl (metronidazole) kite next to this one that says "We don't need G. lamblia here!"
3. Carlow Umlas asked if Giardia trophs are now airborne 😂
4. Daniel Prem Kumar suggested that this was Giardia kiteiaa, a new species on air
5. Société Française de Parasitologie declared this was the best parasitological image of the week!
6. Ali Abdolrasouit said "stunning! Next round Trichomonas?" (better start working on this, Florida Fan 🤓)
7. Sean G. Smith: "I think it might be related to this stump" (A definite likeness)
8. Janet Elizabeth Doyle: "I absolutely knew it was Florida Fan before I read it! Always with a great guess!
9. And last but not least, from Marisa Ginn: "Looks like Giardia--But much BIGGER! (Yikes, I hope I never meet this Giardia!)

Many thanks to Florida Fan for sharing his work.

I also want to give you all an idea for next year's Lab Week, courtesy of Brent Barrett - looks like fun!
