Caption:
This scanning electron microscopic (SEM) image revealed the presence of circulars lesions that were left on the intestinal surface, as a result of the tight adhesion produced by the ventral adhesive disk of Giardia sp. intestinal protozoa. The dorsal, or upper surfaces of several trophozoites could be seen in this figure, but the protozoan in the center of the photograph is laying upside-down, on its dorsal side, revealing an example of the ventral adhesive disk responsible for the circular lesions.
