Abstract

Aims: The study was conducted to know the prevalence of Giardia spp in different sources of water in District Karak Khyber Pukhtunkhwa, Pakistan.

Methods of Study: A total of 65 water samples was collected from different villages of District Karak was tested in the lab of the Department of Zoology in Kohat University of Science & Technology with the method of using PCR (Polymerase chain reaction) to detect the prevalence of G in tube well, bore, drainage and tap water.

Results: From the result the prevalence of G in tube well, drainage and bore water were found 10.76%, 1.53% and 1.53% respectively while in the sample of tap water there will be no prevalence of G was detected.

Conclusion: From the result it was concluded that a proper treatment of water for human consumptions is required.
