This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of Giardia lamblia (G. lamblia) parasite among children from three schools located in Zawia District - Libya. Stool samples were collected from 300 students (aged 6 to 14 years) and examined to search for the G. lamblia parasites by using the direct wet film in which the normal saline solution and Lugol’s iodine used separately on the same slide beside that the concentration technique (precipitation) in formalin and ether used. In this study 9 out of 300 cases (03.00%) were positive by a direct method and sedimentation technique. These results are considered to be of the lowest rates for parasite infections.
