Journal ArticleDOI
Behind the smile: cell biology and disease mechanisms of Giardia species.
TL;DR: This Review discusses recent discoveries in the molecular cell biology and pathogenesis of G. intestinalis and suggests that the disease mechanisms are still poorly understood.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extra-intestinal and long term consequences of Giardia duodenalis infections
TL;DR: A state-of-the-art discussion on the long-term consequences of Giardia infections, from extra-intestinal manifestations, growth and cognitive deficiencies, to post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome is offered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transmission and Epidemiology of Zoonotic Protozoal Diseases of Companion Animals
TL;DR: A review of zoonotic protozoal mechanisms of virulence, epidemiology, and the transmission of pathogens of consequence to pet owners in the United States focused on Giardia and Toxoplasma gondii.
Journal ArticleDOI
Giardiasis – why do the symptoms sometimes never stop?
Lucy J. Robertson,Kurt Hanevik,Angel A. Escobedo,Kristine Mørch,Kristine Mørch,Nina Langeland,Nina Langeland +6 more
TL;DR: Current knowledge is outlined, based on individual case sequelae from sporadic infections, observations of population effects following outbreaks and studies of phenotypic and genotypic diversity between morphologically identical isolates of parasites, that giardiasis sometimes becomes an intrusive, long-term problem.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of the Association Between Giardia lamblia and Endemic Pediatric Diarrhea in Developing Countries
Khitam Muhsen,Myron M. Levine +1 more
TL;DR: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, Giardia lamblia was not associated with acute pediatric diarrhea in nonindustrialized settings but was positively linked to persistent diarrhea.

Mast cells in the development of adaptive immune responses
TL;DR: Mast cells may influence the development, intensity and duration of adaptive immune responses that contribute to host defense, allergy and autoimmunity, rather than simply functioning as effector cells in these settings.
Journal ArticleDOI
A distinct array of proinflammatory cytokines is expressed in human colon epithelial cells in response to bacterial invasion.
Hyun Chae Jung,Lars Eckmann,Suk-Kyun Yang,Asit Panja,Joshua Fierer,E. Morzycka-Wroblewska,Martin F. Kagnoff +6 more
TL;DR: Since the cytokines expressed in response to bacterial invasion or other proinflammatory agonists have a well documented role in chemotaxis and activation of inflammatory cells, colon epithelial cells appear to be programmed to provide a set of signals for the activation of the mucosal inflammatory response in the earliest phases after microbial invasion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biology of Giardia lamblia.
TL;DR: The Giardia genome project promises to greatly increase the understanding of this interesting and enigmatic organism.
Journal ArticleDOI
The zoonotic significance and molecular epidemiology of giardia and giardiasis
TL;DR: The taxonomy and molecular epidemiology ofGiardia and Giardia infections are reviewed and the greatest risk of zoonotic transmission appears to be from companion animals such as dogs and cats, although further studies are required in different endemic foci.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drinking water treatment processes for removal of Cryptosporidium and Giardia
TL;DR: Technical information on conventional and alternative drinking water treatment technologies for removal and inactivation of the protozoan parasites Cryptosporidium and Giardia is provided.
