TL;DR: This chapter presents the global distribution of Echinococcus species and human AE and CE in maps and summarizes the global data on host assemblages, transmission, prevalence in animal definitive hosts, incidence in people and molecular epidemiology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic diversity within cryptosporidium parvum and related cryptosporidium species
Lihua Xiao,Una M. Morgan,Josef Limor,Ananias A. Escalante,Michael J. Arrowood,William P. Shulaw,R.C.A. Thompson,Ronald Fayer,Altaf A. Lal +8 more
TL;DR: A need for revision in the taxonomy and assessment of the zoonotic potential of some animal C. parvum isolates is indicated, because extensive genetic diversities were present among C. Parvum genotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Discrimination of all genotypes of Giardia duodenalis at the glutamate dehydrogenase locus using PCR-RFLP.
TL;DR: PCR-RFLP allows G. duodenalis isolates from human-beings, their companion animals and livestock to be genotyped directly from faeces, leading to valuable information about Giardia genotypes in population without the need for in vitro/in vivo amplification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Giardiasis as a re-emerging infectious disease and its zoonotic potential.
TL;DR: The reasons for considering giardiasis as a re-emerging infectious disease are presented, with emphasis on Giardia infections in child care centres, livestock and pets, and the role of zoonotic transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ribosomal RNA sequencing reveals differences between the genotypes of Giardia isolates recovered from humans and dogs living in the same locality.
TL;DR: The results suggest that zoonotic transmission of Giardia infections between humans and dogs does not occur frequently in these communities, and suggest a new G. duodenalis subgroup.
