Abstract:
INTRODUCTION:Evidence suggests that giardiasis is a zoonotic disease. The present work aimed to evaluate the genetic identity of Giardia duodenalis isolated from human and dog fecal samples from Belo Horizonte. METHODS:Human and dog fecal samples were cultured for isolation of G. duodenalis. To determine the genotype of the isolates, primers that amplify a specific region in rRNA of the protozoan were used. RESULTS:Two G. duodenalis isolates were obtained, which belong to the subgroup A genotype. CONCLUSIONS:These findings suggest that the transmission of giardiasis follows a zoonotic pattern.
