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

Faecal Microbiota Transplantation Reduces Lesion Severity and Medication Use in Canine Atopic Dermatitis: A Randomised, Placebo‐Controlled, Double‐Blinded Clinical Trial

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 37, Issue 5, Page 735-744, October 2026.
Background: Faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is an established therapy for gastrointestinal disease, yet its role in canine atopic dermatitis (cAD) remains unclear. Hypothesis/Objectives: We hypothesised that adjunctive FMT improves clinical severity and reduces symptomatic medication use in dogs with cAD.

Anti-Giardia Drug Discovery: Current Status and Gut Feelings

, 2020
Giardia parasites are ubiquitous protozoans of global importance that impact a wide range of animals including humans. They are the most common enteric pathogen of cats and dogs in developed countries and infect ∼1 billion people worldwide. While Giardia

‘Reservoir dogs’: The emerging zoonotic risk associated with European dog imports to the UK

Veterinary Record, Volume 199, Issue 5, Page e238-e249, 5/12 September 2026.
Abstract Background The movement of dogs from continental Europe to the UK poses a growing public health threat due to the associated risk of disease incursions. Current legislation is insufficient to address the risks and pre‐import control measures are focused only on rabies virus and the fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis. Methods We conducted

Simplified Linear Dose‐Response Models for Low‐Dose QMRAs

AWWA Water Science, Volume 8, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT This study analyzes widely used dose‐response (DR) models from potable reuse quantitative microbial risk assessments (QMRAs) to identify the low‐dose ranges where the log10‐transformed probability of infection and pathogen dose exhibit a linear relationship.

Isoenzyme electrophoresis of 30 isolates of Giardia from humans and felines [PDF]

, 1988
Thirty isolates of Giardia duodenalis from humans and felines were compared by isoenzyme electrophoresis. Using 10 enzyme systems, 13 different zymodemes were distinguished. The majority of zymodemes could be divided into two groups: one group comprising

Genetic characterization of isolates of Giardia duodenalis by enzyme electrophoresis: Implications for reproductive biology, population structure, taxonomy, and epidemiology [PDF]

, 1995
The nature and extent of genetic variation in Giardia was used to infer its mode of reproduction, population structure, taxonomy, and zoonotic potential. Ninety-seven isolates of Giardia duodenalis, from a defined area in Western Australia and throughout

Facts about giardia and swimming pools [PDF]

Giardia is a germ that causes diarrhea. It is found in the poop of a person who has been infected with Giardia. Giardia is protected by a tough outer shell, which allows it to survive for up to 45 minutes, even in properly chlorinated pools and water ...
