| occurrence and genetic characterization of giardia duodenalis from captive nonhuman primates by multi-locus sequence analysis. | giardia is the most common enteric protozoan that can be pathogenic to both humans and animals. transmission can be direct through the faecal-oral route, or through ingestion of contaminated water or food. genetic characterization of giardia duodenalis isolates has demonstrated the existence of seven groups (assemblages a to g) which differ in their host distribution. assemblages a and b are present in humans and other primates, dogs, cats, rodents, and other species of wild mammals, but the rol ... | 2011 | 21327988 |
