Detection and genetic characterization of Giardia duodenalis in pigs from large-scale farms in Xinjiang, China

Parasite, 2019
To study the presence of Giardia duodenalis in Xinjiang, northwest China, we collected 801 fecal specimens from seven large-scale pig farms and screened them using PCR targeting the SSU rRNA gene. Twenty-one (2.6%) of the specimens from five farms were G.

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

Molecular Characterization of Giardia duodenalis in Children in Kenya

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2016
Giardia duodenalis is an important intestinal protozoan in humans worldwide with high infection rates occurring in densely populated and low resource settings. The parasite has been recorded to cause diarrhea in children. This study was carried out to identify G. duodenalis assemblages and sub-assemblages in children presenting with diarrhea in Kenya.A
