Despite its importance as a health problem issue, almost nothing is known about the membrane physiology of Giardia lamblia and practically there exist no information so far regarding the variety and properties of ion channels that this protozoan parasite possesses. To address this subject we
Background
The protozoan
Giardia lamblia is the causal agent of
giardiasis, one of the main diarrheal infections worldwide. Drug resistance to common anti
giardial agents and incidence of treatment failures have increased in recent years. Therefore, the search for new
It is well established that infection with Giardia lamblia can cause malabsorption although the pathogenesis of this is unknown. Transport studies were made on the intestinal segments of male albino rats infected with Giardia cysts obtained from human stools to investigate this pathogenesis. The
Cryptosporidium and Giardia species are enteric protozoa which cause waterborne disease. The detection of these organisms in water relies on the detection of the oocyst and cyst forms or stages. Monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies were compared for their abilities to react with Giardia cysts and
In order to determine the association between Giardia infection and nutritional status, a cross-sectional study was performed on twenty randomly selected primary schools from two regions of Ardabil province in 2005. Anthropometric factors including height, weight and midarm muscle circumference
The effect of UV irradiation on human-derived Giardia lamblia cysts (WB isolate, cultivated using the gerbil model, and purified to homogeneity) was assessed using a 254nm collimated beam protocol. The infection kinetics of UV-exposed cysts were directly compared to the infection kinetics of control
Genotyping of Giardia duodenalis cysts in faecal samples has become a regularly employed tool by researchers investigating different aspects of the epidemiology and pathology of Giardia infection in human and animal populations. However, such investigations are often limited to some extent by lack
The effect of electroporation (very short duration pulses of high voltage electricity) on the viability of Giardia cysts and Cryptosporidium oocysts, and on the viability of these organisms in the presence of free chlorine, combined chlorine, hydrogen peroxide and potassium permanganate, was
The synthesis of 2,3,5-trisubstituted 7-azaindoles as well as 2,5-disubstituted 7-azaindoles from 3,5-dihalogenated 2-aminopyridines is outlined. Using a double Sonogashira coupling reaction on 2-amino-3,5-diiodopyridine followed by the Cacchi reaction the synthesis of 2,3,5-trisubstituted
Giardia muris cysts were incubated briefly in an aqueous induction medium of 0.1 M potassium phosphate with 0.1, 0.2, or 0.3 M sodium bicarbonate. High rates of excystation (91.1-96.7%) were recorded within 5 min after the cysts were placed in trypticase-yeast extract-iron-serum (TYI-S) medium.
We describe the purification of a H2O-producing NADH oxidase from the protozoan parasite Giardia duodenalis. The enzyme is a monomeric flavoprotein containing flavin adenine dinucleotide in a 1:1 molar ratio with the polypeptide. The NADH oxidase has an apparent molecular mass of 46 kDa and was
Stool is chemically complex and the extraction of DNA from stool samples is extremely difficult. Haemoglobin breakdown products, such as bilirubin, bile acids and mineral ions, that are present in the stool samples, can inhibit DNA amplification and cause molecular assays to produce false-negative
Studies have shown that symptomatic infection by Giardia lamblia causes acute or chronic diarrhea, dehydration, abdominal pain and malabsorption, leading to undernutrition and weight loss. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of giardiasis and its combination with a low-protein
BACKGROUND
Document seasonality occurrence and epidemiologic characteristics of Cyclospora cayetanensis infections during a 10-year period from patients consulting at the University Hospital, Honduras.
METHODS
Retrospective non interventional hospital-based study analyzed laboratory results from the
