Giardien – ein Blick über den Tellerrand

Der vorliegende Artikel bietet detaillierte Einblicke in die aktuelle Forschung zu Giardien beim Hund. Er beleuchtet die Zusammenhänge zwischen Giardieninfektionen, Antiparasitika und dem Mikrobiom. Ernährungsbedingte Einflussfaktoren und therapeutische Strategien werden erörtert. Die Therapie soll die Auswirkungen des Giardienbefalls minimieren und die Darmgesundheit unterstützen.
