Synchronisation of Giardia lamblia: identification of cell cycle stage-specific genes and a differentiation restriction point.

Abstract excerpt

The intestinal parasite Giardia lamblia undergoes cell differentiations that entail entry into and departure from the replicative cell cycle. The pathophysiology of giardiasis depends directly upon the ability of the trophozoite form to replicate in the host upper small intestine. Thus, cell proliferation is tightly linked to disease. However, studies of cell cycle regulation in Giardia have been hampered by the...
