Detection of Giardia duodenalis assemblages A and B in human feces by simple, assemblage-specific PCR assays.

Detection of Giardia duodenalis assemblages A and B in human feces by simple, assemblage-specific PCR assays.

The flagellated protozoan Giardia duodenalis is a common gastrointestinal parasite of mammals, including humans.
