| Abstract | Background: Giardia lamblia is a zoonotic protozoan that is classified into 8 genotypes and is distributed worldwide. Assemblages A and B were found to infect dogs and humans, whereas assemblages C and D are dog host-specific. Our objective was to investigate the G. lamblia genotypes circulating in a canine population in Rio de Janeiro, RJ. Results: Sixty stool samples positive for G. lamblia from street dogs were characterized. Fragments of the conserved genes encoding beta-giardin (β-gia) and glutamate dehydrogenase (gdh) were used as targets. The sequences from beta-giardin and glutamate dehydrogenase genes obtained from all 60 dog samples were 100% similar to G. lamblia genotype A. Conclusion: The detection of genotype A suggests that G. lamblia transmission in Rio de Janeiro has a predominantly anthropozoonotic cycle. | pt_BR |
