ribosomal rna sequencing reveals differences between the genotypes of giardia isolates recovered from humans and dogs living in the same locality.	a polymerase chain reaction-based method for genotyping giardia duodenalis isolates using a polymorphic region near the 5' end of the small subunit ribosomal (ssu) rna gene is described. analysis was performed using giardia cysts purified directly from feces. isolates were collected from humans and dogs living in isolated aboriginal communities where giardia infections are highly endemic. this is the first report of the genetic characterization of giardia from dogs and humans living in the same ...	1997	9057695
genetic characterization of isolates of giardia duodenalis by enzyme electrophoresis: implications for reproductive biology, population structure, taxonomy, and epidemiology.	the nature and extent of genetic variation in giardia was used to infer its mode of reproduction, population structure, taxonomy, and zoonotic potential. ninety-seven isolates of giardia duodenalis, from a defined area in western australia and throughout australia and overseas, were obtained from humans, cats, cattle, sheep, dogs, goat, beaver, and rats. enzyme electrophoresis revealed extensive genetic variation with 47 different zymodemes. the widespread occurrence of certain zymodemes and the ...	1995	7776122
