The clinical significance of different genetic subtypes or assemblages of Giardia lamblia is uncertain. Cases of giardiasis in south-west London between 1999 and 2005 were studied, comparing molecular-typing results with clinical and epidemiological findings from routine surveillance. We identified 819 cases, of whom 389 returned surveillance questionnaires. A subset of 267 faecal samples was s...

Giardia duodenalis isolates recovered from humans and dogs living in the same locality in a remote tea-growing community of northeast India were characterized at 3 different loci; the SSU-rDNA, elongation factor 1-alpha (ef1-alpha) and triose phosphate isomerase (tpi) gene. Phylogenetic analysis of the SSU-rDNA and efl-alpha genes provided poor genetic resolution of the isolates within various ...

Clinical manifestations of giardiasis vary from asymptomatic infection to chronic diarrhea. A total of 611 stool samples from Aboriginal participants residing in Jelebu, Gerik and Temerloh States, Malaysia, ages 2 to 74 years were screened for Giardia intestinalis using microscopic examination and sequence analysis of a fragment of nested-PCR amplified triosephosphate isomerase (tpi) gene. Demo...

A new series of isoxazole derivatives were synthesized by synthesizing various chalcone derivatives and cyclizing them to give resultant isoxazole derivatives (TPI1TPI20).. All the synthesized derivatives were characterized with FTIR and NMR spectral analysis and evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity in vivo (carrageenan induced paw ooedema method in rats). The isoxazole derivatives TP...

Pseudo-chancre redux is rare and is defined as a gummatous (tertiary stage) recurrence at the site of the primary chancre (Stokes, Beerman, and Ingraham, 1944). The condition must be distinguished clinically and nosologically from chancre redux (monorecidive), which is an infectious relapse during the early phase of syphilis, at the site of the original chancre, from which treponemes may be rec...

The specific FTA-ABS and TPI tests are too costly and time-consuming to be used as screening procedures for treponemal disease. The VDRL test detects reagin, the antibody amongst others produced in syphilis and yaws and also present in a wide variety of disorders giving the biological false positive reaction. The RPR card test (Portnoy, Garson, and Smith, 1957; Reed, 1965), like the VDRL test, ...

Fecal samples were collected from hunter-killed white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) during a managed hunt in a central Maryland county. Fecal samples were cleaned of debris and concentrated by CsCl density gradient centrifugation and stained with MerIFluor reagents. Stained samples were examined by fluorescent microscopy for the presence of Giardia sp. cysts. One of 26 samples was found ...

In this chapter, the original descriptions and pre-molecular studies of triosephosphate isomerase (TPI) deficiency are summarized, and the molecular aspects of the disease presented. The gene is well characterized, and several mutations have been described. Structure-function studies have led to an increased understanding of impaired catalysis. All kindreds that have been studied with the predo...

Protein translation is a rapid and accurate process, which has been optimized by evolution. Recently, it has been shown that tRNA reusage influences translation speed. We present the tRNA Pairing Index (TPI), a novel index to measure the degree of tRNA reusage in any gene. We describe two variants of the index, how to combine various such indices to a single one and an efficient algorithm for t...
