Ribosomal RNA sequencing reveals differences between the genotypes of Giardia isolates recovered from humans and dogs living in the same locality

, 1997
A polymerase chain reaction-based method for genotyping Giardia duodenalis isolates using a polymorphic region near the 5' end of the small subunit ribosomal (SSU) RNA gene is described.

DNA typing of the human small intestinal protozoan parasite Giardia lamblia

, 1995
PhDAt present there is no satisfactory means of typing strains of Giardia lamblia which can explain the broad range of clinical symptoms seen in giardiasis or which can identify genotypes in epidemiological studies.

Drug resistance in Giardia: Mechanisms and alternative treatments for Giardiasis

, 2020
The use of chemotherapeutic drugs is the main resource against clinical giardiasis due to the lack of approved vaccines. Resistance of G. duodenalis to the most used drugs to treat giardiasis, metronidazole and albendazole, is a clinical issue of growing

Giardia duodenalis: Exposure to metronidazole inhibits competitive interactions between isolates of the parasite in vitro

, 1996
The competitive interactions of genetically distinct isolates of Giardia duodenalis with different growth rates were studied in vitro. Electrophoretic analysis of mixed cultures showed that competition between 2 cloned isolates occurs under normal in ...
