Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1988
Giardia is the most frequently identified enteric parasite in the United States, but much is not known about host-parasite interaction. Advances using immunodiagnostic techniques, endonuclease restriction analysis, surface-antigen detection methods, and measuring homologous and heterologous antibody responses are beginning to clarify the biology of ...

It is over 10 years since Meyer and Radulescu (1979) reviewed Giardia and giardiasis in Advances in Parasitology. In their introduction, they emphasized that "despite their ubiquity and antiquity, the Giardia have, until recently, been little studied". In the intervening years, Giardia has been extensively studied.

Publisher Summary Organisms in the genus Giardia are widely distributed, flagellated protozoan parasites of all classes of vertebrates. Giardia is an intestinal protozoan parasite of humans.. Under appropriate conditions, they can cause disease. This chapter summarizes the progress in the study of Giardia and its relation with its host.

Giardia Infection in Parakeets
Avian Diseases, 1978Giardia infection causing high morbidity and mortality in parakeets in 3 commercial aviaries is described. The disease was successfully treated with dimetridazole.

Giardia duodenalis (syn. Giardia lamblia and Giardia intestinalis) is a common intestinal parasite of humans and mammals worldwide. Assessing the zoonotic transmission of the infection requires molecular characterization as there is considerable genetic variation within G. duodenalis.

Giardia infection in budgerigars
Australian Veterinary Journal, 1998Budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus) from two different breeding colonies were found to have Giardia infection. Light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and in‐vitro and in‐vivo studies confirmed the species was G psittaci. Chicks were clinically affected and showed signs of retarded growth, dehydration and diarrhoea.

Parasitology Today, 1993
Giardiasis is a worldwide disease that can cause serious morbidity. Metronidozole is the current recommended drug for treatment, and is mostly still effective. However, Giardia duodenalis, the causative agent, is capable of developing resistance to high levels of metronidozole and other drugs, in vitro, via a number of mechanisms.

Molecular variation in Giardia
Acta Tropica, 1993Molecular characterisation of species within the genus Giardia has revealed that much of the phenotypic heterogeneity, particularly within the species G. duodenalis, has a genetic basis. The source of this genetic variation appears to arise from predominantly asexual, clonal reproduction, although occasional bouts of sexual reproduction cannot be ruled

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 1991
In an attempt to study Giardia at the DNA sequence level, the rRNA genes of three species, Giardia duodenalis, Giardia ardeae and Giardia muris were cloned and restriction enzyme maps were constructed. The rDNA repeats of these Giardia show completely different restriction enzyme recognition patterns.

The cytoskeleton of Giardia lamblia
International Journal for Parasitology, 2003Giardia lamblia is a ubiquitous intestinal pathogen of mammals. Evolutionary studies have also defined it as a member of one of the earliest diverging eukaryotic lineages that we are able to cultivate and study in the laboratory. Despite early recognition of its striking structure resembling a half pear endowed with eight flagella and a unique ventral ...
