Our study objectives were to describe the temporal pattern of <jats:italic>Giardia<\/jats:italic> occurrence and determine whether water quality parameters and bacterial indicators could act as effective markers for <jats:italic>Giardia<\/jats:italic> occurrence. Water samples were collected monthly from the Grand River near a drinking water intake point (2005\u20132013) and also collected intermittently from other areas in the watershed during the study period. Samples were tested for <jats:italic>Giardia<\/jats:italic> cysts using the US EPA method 1623. Samples were also tested for chemical and microbial water quality indicators. Univariable and multivariable linear regression models were built to examine whether temporal, water quality and bacterial indicators were associated with <jats:italic>Giardia<\/jats:italic> cyst concentration. <jats:italic>Giardia<\/jats:italic> cysts were identified in 89% of samples (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0228), with highest measured concentrations downstream of a waste water treatment plant outfall. Year and season were found to be predictors for <jats:italic>Giardia<\/jats:italic> occurrence<jats:italic>. C<\/jats:italic>oncentrations were significantly higher in the winter and fall compared to the summer, and significantly higher in 2007 compared to other study years. After controlling for season, year and sampling location, dissolved oxygen was the only variable significantly associated with <jats:italic>Giardia<\/jats:italic> cyst concentration. Seasonal peaks in <jats:italic>Giardia<\/jats:italic> cyst concentrations in samples collected near the intake for the drinking water plant did not align with the seasonal peak in human <jats:italic>Giardia<\/jats:italic>sis cases in this region that are reported annually by public health authorities. This suggests that the risk of contracting <jats:italic>Giardia<\/jats:italic>sis from treated drinking water in this community is possibly low when the treatment plant is functioning adequately. Instead, waterborne exposure is likely the result of seasonal behaviours surrounding recreational water use. Therefore, the collective findings of our study are important to help inform future risk management studies and guide public health protection policies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/zph.12388","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,6]],"date-time":"2017-10-06T04:12:38Z","timestamp":1507263158000},"page":"291-303","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Temporal trends in <i>Giardia<\/i> occurrence in the Grand River and surrounding tributaries, Waterloo, Ontario (2005\u20132013), a retrospective analysis of surveillance data"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"65","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4137-9320","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"A.
