Arginine metabolism has a pivotal function for the encystation of <i>Giardia duodenalis</i>

2025-02-20

Abstract excerpt

Arginine metabolism plays a key role in the energy metabolism of the intestinal parasite Giardia duodenalis , an amitochondrial protozoan that infects humans and animals and causes significant morbidity. An arginine deiminase (ADI) has been implicated in virulence, but it is currently unknown if ADI allele variants from the different genetic G. duodenalis subgroups (assemblages) differ in function. Here, the hyp...
