Giardia Cathepsins and Their Role in Intestinal Disease
Giardia duodenalis, a non-invasive protozoan parasite of the upper small intestine of mammals, including humans, closely associates with intestinal epithelial cells. The pathophysiology of giardiasis includes intestinal barrier dysfunction and cytoskeletal injury; however, the mechanisms or …

Detecting Giardia: Clinical and Molecular Identification
The protozoan parasite Giardia duodenalis (syn. G. lamblia, G. intestinalis) can cause diarrhea in humans, cats, dogs and other animals. Giardia duodenalis consists of eight assemblages (A-H) that are morphologically identical but genetically distinct. Assemblages C-H are generally …

The effects of a silvicultural sludge application on small mammal populations and the potential of Giardia contamination in a forest ecosystem
… contamination of the forest ecosystem by Giardia duodenalis, a parasitic protozoan, was also investigated. Populations of the deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus), Oregon vole (Microtus oregoni), Townsend chipmunk (Eutamias townsendii), shrews (Sorex spp.), and a few species caught …

Feline Parasitism: Parasite Prevalence and Evaluation of New Immunoassays for Giardia and Cryptosporidium
… are easier to detect than others. Diagnosing Giardia duodenalis and Cryptosporidium spp. can be difficult because cysts and oocysts shed in the feces are small, shed intermittently, and require a trained technician to consistently identify them. As a result, infections with these protozoan …

Prevalence Of, Risk Factors For, And Zoonotic Potential Of Giardia Spp. Infection In Cats Housed In An Animal Shelter
Giardia duodenalis is an intestinal protozoal parasite capable of causing both clinical and subclinical disease in a broad range of species, including humans and cats. The parasite has a ubiquitous distribution and infection occurs worldwide in nearly all mammals. Giardia infection in cats may not …

Novel Nucleic Acid Sensors for the Rapid Detection of Cryptosporidium Parvum
… the same environment, for example, C. parvum and Giardia duodenalis by conducting a single test. The array's ability to perform multiple sample analysis is shown by detecting different concentrations of target nucleic acids. Further, the author developed a microfluidic chip in which interdigitated …
