Assessment of potential zoonotic transmission of Giardia duodenalis from dogs and cats

“…G. duodenalis is commonly detected in domestic and wild animals, with a notable presence of zoonotic assemblages A and B. Notably, domestic animals such as sheep, goats, pigs, and calves, and wild animals including bison, wild raccoons, and wild canines harbor G. duodenalis [ 11 , [41] , [42] , [43] , [44] , [45] , [46] , [47] , [48] ]. Besides, a case-control study revealed that giardiasis was associated with contact with farm animals and pets, particularly pigs, dogs, and cats [ 49 ].…”

Molecular epidemiology and multilocus genotyping of Giardia duodenalis in individuals attending major public hospitals in Shiraz, southwestern Iran: A public health concern

“…G. duodenalis assemblages A and B infect humans and various mammals ( Asghari et al, 2022b ; Asghari et al, 2022a ). While, assemblages C—H are typically found in dogs and other canids (C, D), hoofed livestock (E), cats (F), rodents (G), and marine mammals (H) ( Asghari et al, 2023 ; Zajaczkowski et al, 2021 ). Nevertheless, recent evidence suggests that livestock-only circulating assemblages (i.e., E) may also infect humans, suggesting some assemblages have less strict host-specificity, potentially enabling transmission from non-human mammals to humans ( Dixon, 2021 ; Fu et al, 2022 ).…”
