  • Giardia Lamblia: Identification and Information on the Parasite
    The organism you're describing is likely a Giardia lamblia, also known as Giardia intestinalis.

    Here's why:

    * Long cell: Giardia are single-celled organisms (protozoa) with a distinctive elongated, pear-shaped body.

    * Pouch containing two flagella: At the anterior (front) end of the cell, Giardia have a ventral sucking disc and a pear-shaped structure called a ventral groove that houses two flagella.

    Giardia is a parasitic protozoan that can cause giardiasis, a common intestinal infection.
