Giardia and Cryptosporidium in children with diarrhea, Kufra, Libya, a North African migration route city.
CONCLUSION: Cryptosporidium and Giardia were frequently associated with diarrhea in children in a remote desert agricultural community with many opportunities for infection. Contact with animals, foreign workers from Africa, fresh vegetables and drinking water sources contaminated with sewage materials are the likely modes of transmission of both organisms.
