Novel lineages of <i>Giardia intestinalis</i> identified by genetic analysis of organisms isolated from dogs in Australia
1 Jan 1998
Abstract excerpt
Infection of suckling mice with Giardia trophozoites recovered from the intestines of 11 dogs autopsied in Central and Southern Australia in each case produced an established isolate. In contrast, only 1 isolate was obtained by inoculation of faecal cysts. The organisms grew poorly in comparison with isolates from humans or non-canine animal hosts. Light microscopy revealed that the trophozoites had median bodies...
