Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular characterization of human isolates of Giardia duodenalis from Ethiopia
TL;DR: The genetic analysis of human isolates of G. duodenalis collected in different localities across the country revealed a strong correlation between the presence of symptoms and infection with assemblage B, and the exact genetic identity of these isolates remains unclear.
