OBJECTIVES There is a high incidence of intestinal parasite infection in urban areas in the Northeast of Brazil. Giardia lamblia infections have been associated with increased prevalence of cutaneous allergies and gastrointestinal disorders. However, little is known about the relationship between giardiasis and allergic diseases of the airways. The present study aimed to investigate the possibl...

Introduction: The present work aimed to assess the anti-parasitic effects of limonene (LMN) against Giardia lamblia trophozoites and cysts. Methods: Anti-Giardia activities LMN (25, 50, 100 μg/mL) were assessed G. cysts for 15-360 minutes. on apoptosis stimulation parasites determined by colorimetric protease assay. Results: more sensitive than best effect was seen at μg/mL. markedly triggered ...

AIM The aim of this study is to investigate the molecular identification of Giardia lamblia in patients with diarrhea. BACKGROUND Giardiasis caused by Giardia lamblia is a common intestinal disease. Although this parasitic infection found in mammals including human, pets and livestock, but few species within the genus Giardia can infects humans. G. lamblia have seven complex genotypes termed ...

background: infected with intestinal parasites is one of the most important health and economical problems, which could have different effects, such as diarrheal diseases or death associated. the purpose of this study was to determine the level of prevalence of cryptosporidium and giardia parasites in the vegetable marketed in ilam city. methods: this study was performed on 280 samples of fresh...

Giardia lamblia is a protozoan parasite and the earliest branching clade of eukaryota. The Giardia life cycle alternates between an asexually replicating vegetative form and an infectious cyst form. Encystation and excystation are crucial processes for the survival and transmission of Giardia. Cysteine proteases in Giardia have been implicated in proteolytic processing events that enable the co...
