Giardia duodenalis Induces Proinflammatory Cytokine Production in Mouse Macrophages via TLR9-Mediated p38 and ERK Signaling Pathways

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Giardia duodenalis, also known as Giardia lamblia or Giardia intestinalis, is an important opportunistic, pathogenic, zoonotic, protozoan parasite that infects the small intestines of humans and animals, causing giardiasis.

Molecular identification of Giardia duodenalis and Cryptosporidium species in newly arrived migrants and asylum seekers in Greece: Implications for public health [PDF]

Food and Waterborne Parasitology
Giardia duodenalis and Cryptosporidium species are important intestinal protozoa. Zoonotic species and assemblages of both have been reported in Greece, although recent demographic and environmental changes may influence their epidemiology.

Giardia duodenalis infection and wastewater irrigation in Pakistan

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2006
The risk of Giardia duodenalis (Giardia) infection in farmers using untreated wastewater in agriculture was investigated in the city of Faisalabad, Pakistan, through a cross-sectional study. The study found a significantly increased risk of (asymptomatic) Giardia infection in wastewater farming households when compared with farming households using ...

Prevalence of Giardia duodenalis genetic assemblages isolated from dogs and cats in Poland [PDF]

Journal of Veterinary Research
Giardia duodenalis (syn. G. intestinalis and G. lamblia) is a protozoan intestinal parasite that infects various vertebrates. Genetic analyses of G. duodenalis have identified eight genetic assemblages (groups), designated A–H.

Giardia duodenalis Virulence — “To Be, or Not To Be” [PDF]

Current Tropical Medicine Reports, 2021
Here, we review recent progress made on the genetic characterization of Giardia duodenalis assemblages and their relationship with virulence. We also discuss the implications of virulence factors in the pathogenesis of giardiasis, and advances in the development of vaccines and drugs based on knowledge of virulence markers.The use of transcriptomic and

Real-Time PCR for Molecular Detection of Zoonotic and Non-Zoonotic Giardia spp. in Wild Rodents

Microorganisms, 2021
Giardiasis in humans is a gastrointestinal disease transmitted by the potentially zoonotic Giardia duodenalis genotypes (assemblages) A and B. Small wild rodents such as mice and voles are discussed as potential reservoirs for G.
