| molecular evidence for zoonotic transmission of giardia duodenalis among dairy farm workers in west bengal, india. | no study in the past has examined the genetic diversity and zoonotic potential of giardia duodenalis in dairy cattle in india. to assess the importance of these animals as a source of human g. duodenalis infections and determine the epidemiology of bovine giardiasis in india, fecal samples from 180 calves, heifers and adults and 51 dairy farm workers on two dairy farms in west bengal, india were genotyped by pcr-rflp analysis of the ß-giardin gene of g. duodenalis followed by dna sequencing of t ... | 2011 | 21324592 |
