  2. 6. Characterization of secreted Giardia intestinalis cysteine proteases

    Author : Jingyi Liu; Staffan G Svärd; Lars Hellman; Andre Buret; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Giardia intestinalis; ESPs; CPs; apical junction; chemokines; phage display; immunoglobulins; defensins; mucin.; Biologi med inriktning mot mikrobiologi; Biology with specialization in Microbiology;

    Abstract : Giardia intestinalis, the causative agent of the diarrheal disease giardiasis, is a protozoan parasite that colonizes the upper small intestine of mammals, including humans. It can be divided into eight genotypes or assemblages (A through H) and only assemblage A and B are infective to humans. READ MORE

  4. 7. Immunodominant proteins in Giardia lamblia

    Author : Malin Weiland; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The protozoan parasite Giardia lamblia is a major cause of diarrhoea in humans and other mammals. Infection starts by ingestion of infectious cysts that excyst in the upper part of the small intestine and attach to intestinal epithelial cells. READ MORE

  5. 8. Genetic subtypes in unicellular intestinal parasites with special focus on Blastocystis

    Author : Joakim Forsell; Birgitta Evengård; Margareta Granlund; Tom van Gool; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Intestinal parasites; Blastocystis; Entamoeba; Giardia; molecular detection; PCR; subtype; intestinal microbiota; Sweden; Zanzibar; Clinical Bacteriology; klinisk bakteriologi;

    Abstract : The development of molecular tools for detection and typing of unicellular intestinal parasites has revealed genetic diversities in species that were previously considered as distinct entities. Of great importance is the genetic distinction found between the pathogenic Entamoeba histolytica and the non-pathogenic Entamoeba dispar, two morphologically indistinguishable species. READ MORE

  6. 9. Deradicalising Giardiasis Treatment

    Author : Sascha Krakovka; Staffan Svärd; Jon Jerlström-Hultqvist; Norbert Müller; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : Giardia intestinalis is a unicellular parasite causing the disease giardiasis. This disease is mostly prevalent in low resource settings, mandating low-cost treatment options. READ MORE

  7. 10. Pathogenesis and Cell Biology of the Salmon Parasite Spironucleus salmonicida

    Author : Ásgeir Ástvaldsson; Staffan Svärd; Jon Jerlström-Hultqvist; Scott Dawson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Diplomonads; Spironucleus; Giardia; genome; annexin; oxygen stress; APEX; pathology;

    Abstract : Spironucleus species are classified as diplomonad organisms, diverse eukaryotic flagellates found in oxygen-deprived environments. Members of Spironucleus are parasitic and can infect a variety of hosts, such as mice and birds, while the majority are found to infect fish. READ MORE
