A novel Giardia duodenalis assemblage A subtype in fallow deer.
The molecular identification of species and genotypes of Giardia spp. infecting wild mammals represents the most reliable tool to understand the role played by these animals as reservoirs of cysts infectious for human and other animals. Of 139 fecal samples collected from fallow deer (Dama dama L.) hunted in a Natural Reserve of northern Italy, the prevalence of Giardia sp. was 11.5% (16 of 139...
متن کاملMixed Giardia duodenalis assemblage A and E infections in calves.
A molecular epidemiological study was conducted on 100 dairy (499 calves) and 50 beef (333 calves) farms in Belgium to estimate the prevalence of different Giardia duodenalis assemblages in calves younger than 10 weeks of age. Positive samples from the epidemiological study and from a previous clinical study were selected and genotyped based on the amplification of the beta-giardin gene. To inv...
متن کاملAlpha 2 giardin is an assemblage A-specific protein of human infective Giardia duodenalis.
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 expressed. Employing one and two-dimensional PAGE we have identified an assemblage A-specific protein of human infective G. duodenalis; alpha 2 ...
متن کاملHigh Prevalence of Giardia duodenalis Assemblage B Infection and Association with Underweight in Rwandan Children
BACKGROUND Giardia duodenalis is highly endemic in East Africa but its effects on child health, particularly of submicroscopic infections, i.e., those below the threshold of microscopy, and of genetic subgroups (assemblages), are not well understood. We aimed at addressing these questions and at examining epidemiological characteristics of G. duodenalis in southern highland Rwanda. METHODOLOG...
متن کاملMicroarray Analysis of the Intestinal Host Response in Giardia duodenalis Assemblage E Infected Calves
Despite Giardia duodenalis being one of the most commonly found intestinal pathogens in humans and animals, little is known about the host-parasite interactions in its natural hosts. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the intestinal response in calves following a G. duodenalis infection, using a bovine high-density oligo microarray to analyze global gene expression in the...
