There are about three different causes for giardiasis they are:

.Contaminated water supplies: Sources of contaminated water supplies include public facilities that do not filter their water properly, or water that is used in lakes or rivers by hikers can sometimes become contaminated. This can cause infection

.Contaminated food: Food that has been washed in contaminated water, exposed to manure or, prepared by an infected person can spread the disease

.Person-to-person-contant: Could be caused by bad hygiene and most commonly occurs in daycare centres and nursing homes

(hope this helps! :D)
