Abstract excerpt

Giardia duodenalis represents a species complex of tetraploid protozoan parasites that infect the small intestine of mammals. Human giardiasis is a widespread gastrointestinal disease predominantly caused by two of eight genetically distinct G. duodenalis groups, termed assemblages A and B. These two assemblages differ in their host preferences, grade of genome identity as well as frequency of allelic sequence...
