Abstract excerpt
This study explored the genetic composition of Giardia in fecal samples from 284 individual lambs on pasture-based sheep farms in three regions of Victoria, Australia. An approach, combining targeted sequencing, phylogenetic analysis and PCR-coupled restriction endonuclease fingerprinting, was used to identify and genetically categorize Giardia present in 43 (15.1%) of the 284 samples and to infer their zoonotic...
