Giardia duodenalis captured the attention of Leeuwenhoek in 1681 while he was examining
his own diarrheal stool, but, ironically, it did not really gain attention as a human pathogen …

Giardia duodenalis is a major gastrointestinal parasite of humans and animals across the
globe. It is also of interest from an evolutionary perspective as it possesses many features …

Giardia duodenalis (syn. Giardia lamblia and Giardia intestinalis) is a major cause of
parasite-induced diarrheal disease. It is found worldwide but the prevalence is higher in low …

Cyst formation in the parasitic protist Giardia duodenalis is critical to its transmission.
Existing proteomic data quantifies only 17% of coding genes transcribed during encystation …

Giardia intestinalis colonizes the upper small intestine of humans and animals, causing the
diarrheal disease giardiasis. This unicellular eukaryotic parasite is not invasive but it …

The effectiveness of metronidazole against the tetraploid intestinal parasite Giardia lamblia
is dependent on its activation/inactivation within the cytoplasm. There are several activating …

Complete reference genomes, including correct feature annotations, are a fundamental
aspect of genomic biology. In the case of protozoan species such as Giardia duodenalis, a …

Functional gene and protein characterizations in parasitic protists are often limited by their
genetic tractability. Despite the development of CRISPR-Cas9-derived or inspired …

Giardia duodenalis, is a binuclear and microaerophilic protozoan that causes giardiasis. Up
to date, several molecular approaches have been taken to understand the molecular …

Publications abound on the physiology, biochemistry and molecular biology of “anaerobic”
protozoal parasites as usually grown under “anaerobic” culture conditions. The media …
