First report of Giardia duodenalis infection in the crested porcupine (Hystrix cristata L., 1758)

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2020
Italy is the only European country where the crested porcupine (Hystrix cristata) lives. A parasitological investigation was performed on faecal samples, aimed to evaluate Giardia and other parasites in a free-ranging crested porcupine population in ...

Infections by Intestinal Coccidia and Giardia duodenalis [PDF]

Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 2015
The coccidians Cryptosporidium spp, Cyclospora cayetanensis, and Cystoisospora belli and the flagellate Giardia duodenalis are pathogenic protozoa associated with gastrointestinal manifestations. Diagnosis relies heavily on microscopy, and although ova-and-parasite examinations can detect Giardia and Cystoisospora, Cryptosporidium and Cyclospora often ...

Alpha 2 giardin is an assemblage A-specific protein of human infective Giardia duodenalis [PDF]

, 2008
Of the 7 genetic assemblages of the parasite Giardia duodenalis only 2 (A and B) are known to cause infections in humans. These assemblages have been characterized in detail at the genomic level but few studies have examined differences in the proteins ...

Prevalence and Multilocus Genotyping Analysis of Cryptosporidium and Giardia Isolates from Dogs in Chiang Mai, Thailand

Veterinary Sciences, 2017
The occurrence and zoonotic potential of Cryptosporidium spp. and Giardia duodenalis isolated from dogs in Chiang Mai, Thailand were determined. Fecal samples were collected from 109 dogs between July and August 2008. Cryptosporidium spp.

A purified ferredoxin from Giardia duodenalis [PDF]

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1994
A ferredoxin has been purified to homogeneity from the ancient protozoan parasite Giardia duodenalis. As far as we know, this is the first electron transport protein to be characterised from the organism. The ferredoxin exhibits absorption maxima at 296 and 406 nm with molar absorption coefficients of ɛ296= 16650 ± 240 M−1 cm−1 and ɛ406= 13100 ± 370 M ...

Clonal diversity of the glutamate dehydrogenase gene in Giardia duodenalis from Thai Isolates: evidence of genetic exchange or Mixed Infections? [PDF]

, 2011
Background: The glutamate dehydrogenase gene (gdh) is one of the most popular and useful genetic markers for the genotypic analysis of Giardia duodenalis (syn. G. lamblia, G. intestinalis), the protozoan that widely causes enteric disease in humans.

Transmission cycles of Giardia duodenalis in dogs and humans in Temple communities in Bangkok—A critical evaluation of its prevalence using three diagnostic tests in the field in the absence of a gold standard [PDF]

, 2009
The prevalence and associated risk factors for Giardia duodenalis in canine and human populations in Temple communities of Bangkok, Thailand were determined by evaluating three common diagnostic methods utilised to detect Giardia, namely zinc sulphate ...

Comparing four diagnostic tests for Giardia duodenalis in dogs using latent class analysis

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background To accurately diagnose giardiosis in dogs, knowledge of diagnostic test characteristics and expected prevalence are required. The aim of this work was to estimate test characteristics (sensitivity and specificity) of four commonly used ...

Identification of Zoonotic Genotypes of Giardia duodenalis [PDF]

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 ...
