Abstract
Giardia duodenalis is a parasitic protozoan that affects the gastrointestinal tract, causing abdominal disorders of various animals and humans. To date, G. duodenalis has been genotypically divided into seven groups (assemblages), namely A to G, found in different host ranges. Whilst assemblages C to G are specific genotypes affecting restricted animal hosts, assemblages A and B parasitise both humans and a number of animal species, and have been considered as having zoonotic potential. The main objective of the current study was to investigate the molecular epidemiology of G. duodenalis in animals and humans in the UK. The current study also evaluated multilocus genotyping and determined the protein changes between assemblages A and B.
