  Giardiasis is an important protozoan disease caused by Giardia and manifested as life-threatening diarrhea in animals and humans worldwide. No study has performed to see zoonotic epidemiology and diversity of Giardia in animals in Bangladesh. Hence, there is a room to characterize Giardia protozoan parasite in animals to find out their roles as a source of human infection. To address this hurdle, fecal samples of 100 goat kids were genotyped by nested PCR amplification of β-giardin gene fragment followed by sequencing and analysis. The total prevalence of Giardia in goat kids was 3% (3/100) and the infection is more widespread in younger, Black Bengal breed and female goat kids. Further analysis of β-giardin gene locus has shown and clustered the Giardia in Assemblage E rather than Assemblages A and B. It suggests the low zoonotic transmission fr.. Read More»
