Genotyping of Giardia duodenalis in children in upper Egypt using assemblage- specific PCR technique.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Giardia duodenalis is a common gastrointestinal protozoan parasite, causing diarrheal illness in humans worldwide. Yet, the distribution of G. duodenalis genotypes among human patients and their clinical relevance remains controversial.

Intestinal parasites of owned dogs and cats from metropolitan and micropolitan areas: prevalence, zoonotic risks, and pet owner awareness in northern Italy [PDF]

, 2014
Intestinal parasites of dogs and cats are cosmopolitan pathogens with zoonotic potential for humans. Our investigation considered their diffusion in dogs and cats from northern Italy areas, specifically the metropolitan area of Milan and two micropolitan

First multilocus sequence typing (MLST) of Giardia duodenalis isolates from humans in Romania

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Giardia duodenalis is one of the most prevalent and highly diverse human parasites, encompassing a complex of eight genetically distinct assemblages, each further divided into sub-assemblages. While in recent years, G.

Zoonotic Parasites in Marmosets (Callithrix Spp.) From Southern Brazil: Insights From a One Health Perspective

Journal of Medical Primatology, Volume 54, Issue 5, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Currently, six species of Callithrix are frequently observed in anthropized and degraded environments in different regions of Brazil. This occupation favors interactions with humans and increases the risk of infection by parasites with zoonotic potential.

Global epidemiology of Giardia duodenalis infection in cancer patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis

International Health, 2021
Background Application of chemotherapeutics in cancer patients may provide an immunosuppressive milieu, favourable for parasitic infections. Giardia duodenalis is an important zoonotic intestinal parasite responsible for diarrhoea in humans worldwide ...

Synthesis of Giardia Species and Genotypes in Wild Birds: A Review

Veterinary Sciences
Globally, Giardia infections affect an estimated 280 million people each year, making it a significant cause of enteric diarrheal disease. Despite being categorized as a neglected disease, the prevalence of Giardia in wild animals varies, with both ...

Giardia co-infection promotes the secretion of antimicrobial peptides beta-defensin 2 and trefoil factor 3 and attenuates attaching and effacing bacteria-induced intestinal disease.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Our understanding of polymicrobial gastrointestinal infections and their effects on host biology remains incompletely understood. Giardia duodenalis is an ubiquitous intestinal protozoan parasite infecting animals and humans.

Identification of Zoonotic Genotypes of Giardia duodenalis

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2009
Giardia duodenalis, originally regarded as a commensal organism, is the etiologic agent of giardiasis, a gastrointestinal disease of humans and animals. Giardiasis causes major public and veterinary health concerns worldwide. Transmission is either direct, through the faecal-oral route, or indirect, through ingestion of contaminated water or food ...

Genotype‐Specific Small EVs Released by Giardia lamblia Act as Mediators of Phenotypic Adaptation Under Metronidazole‐Induced Stress

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2025.
Small extracellular vesicles (RsEVs) derived from metronidazole‐resistant Giardia lamblia clones (WB/1267MTZr and GS/MMTZr) modulated drug sensitivity in wildtype parasites by altering reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and the expression of MTZ‐metabolising enzymes in a genotype‐dependent manner.
