The 1980 Giardia Outbreak in Carbon County
Thursday, March 22, 2012 - 7 p.m.
Free and open to the public
Dr. James Kane will discuss the 1980 outbreak of Waterborn Giardiasis at 7 pm. From mid-June through early August 1980, an outbreak of gastrointestinal illness in Carbon County, Montana affected approximately 780 persons. Giardia lamblia was identified as the possible culprit. The epidemic peaked once in mid-june and once in mid-July. Each peak occurred about 3 weeks after two episodes of very high water runoff from the spring snowmelt, resulting from warm sunny weather and ashfall from the Mt. St. Helens volcanic eruption of May 18, 1980. Unfiltered and inadequately chlorinated surface water was implicated as the mode of transmission of the outbreak.
