Morphological descriptive study of giardia lamblia in man and cow at basrah

Abstract

Giardia was single celled microscopic protozoan parasites that cause enteric disease in human. Because of the impact on socio-economic development, especially in developing countries, it was included in the "Neglected Disease Initiative" of the World Health Organization. This work conducted to descript morphology of Giardia spp in different hosts, which is first study of its type in Basrah, Iraq. This work started from September 2012 till June 2013, through this period collected 2393 stool samples from human and cows. 727 out of 2393 were positive. By using golden standard microscopic methods for diagnosis. A selective 30 positive stool samples for each hosts, measured the dimensions of stages of Giardia. There is different measurement in dimensions of both two phases of Giardia.

Prevalence and molecular characterization of Giardia intestinalis isolated from children and calves in Babylon province, Iraq

“…In calves, the observed prevalence was similar to those recorded in Basra province, Iraq (34%) [ 40 ], Babylon province, Iraq (35.5%) [ 41 ], and the United States (33.5% in weaned calves) [ 42 ]. Conversely, the observed prevalence was higher than that recorded in Baghdad province, Iraq (30%([ 30 ].…”

Potencial Zoonótico Da Giardiose: Uma Revisão / Zoonotic Potential of Giardiasis: A Review

“…Apresenta metabolismo ativo e expressão gênica amplamente aumentada para aporte às divisões celulares (ALI & HILL, 2003;SOGAYAR & GUIMARÃES, 2005;ANKARKLEV et. al., 2010;CARRANZA & LUJAN, 2010;AL SAAD & AL EMARAH, 2014). O segundo estágio do ciclo de vida desse parasito é denominado cisto, apresentando forma oval com 8-12 µm de comprimento por 7-10 µm de largura e parede robusta e resistente (composta de 60% de carboidratos e 40% de proteínas).…”

“…É a forma de resistência desse parasito (GUIMARÃES, SOGAYAR & de FRANCO, 1999;ANKARKLEV et. al., 2010;AL SAAD & AL EMARAH, 2014). Um terceiro estágio de curta duração é denominado excizoíto, que difere do trofozoíto pela ausência do disco ventral (ainda não formado) e presença de quatro núcleos tetraploides.…”
