Theory of attachment in Giardia
Biophysical Journal, 1983 Using a low Reynold's number hydrodynamic model, the adhesive force in Giardia is calculated. It is shown that this force is larger than typical forces that would tend to detach the organism.

Post‐LECA Origin and Diversification of an Axonemal Outer Arm Dynein Motor
Cytoskeleton, Volume 83, Issue 7, Page 457-465, July 2026.ABSTRACT Dyneins were present in the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA) and play key roles in eukaryotic biology. Axonemal dyneins form the inner and outer arms that power ciliary beating, and it has long been recognized that outer arms in some organisms contain two different heavy chain motors, whereas those from other species contain a third unit

The biology of Giardia spp [PDF]
Microbiological Reviews, 1991 Gardia spp. are flagellated protozoans that parasitize the small intestines of mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. The infectious cysts begin excysting in the acidic environment of the stomach and become trophozoites (the vegetative form). The trophozoites attach to the intestinal mucosa through the suction generated by a ventral disk and cause ...

Age and Ageing, 2001 We report two cases of giardiasis in elderly women. Neither patient had been abroad recently and neither had diarrhoea at the time of diagnosis. In the first case, an extensive gastrointestinal cancer work-up was carried out before the diagnosis was made.It is important to consider possible infective causes in older patients who have anaemia and weight

MODERN ASPECTS OF GIARDIASIS DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
Вопросы современной педиатрии, 2015 Giardiasis is one of the most common parasitic invasions. Parasitizing the intestine, Giardia disrupt the structure and function of the small intestine, leading to recurrent or persistent clinical manifestations, as a rule, combining pain, dyspeptic and ...

Microtubule organelles in Giardia
, 2020 Giardia lamblia is a widespread parasitic protist with a complex MT cytoskeleton that is critical for motility, attachment, mitosis and cell division, and transitions between its two life cycle stages-the infectious cyst and flagellated trophozoite. Giardia trophozoites have both highly dynamic and highly stable MT organelles, including the ventral ...

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.Free‐ranging rhesus macaques at Kathmandu's UNESCO heritage sites exhibit a 77.1% prevalence of potentially zoonotic gastrointestinal parasites. These findings highlight significant environmental contamination and a shared exposure risk, emphasizing the critical need for integrated One Health management strategies at the urban human‐wildlife interface.
