    Although humans are the main reservoir of the parasite, a variety of animals carry Giardia species, which can be passed on to humans. Giardia duodenalis cysts from beavers may contaminate community water supplies.11 Although the possibility of Giardia transmission from dogs to humans (zoonosis) has historically been a subject of debate, recent studies have provided strong evidence that this can and does happen.
