چکیده
Giardia duodenalis is a zoonotic protozoan infecting various vertebrates such as humans and domestic animals. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency and genotypes of G. duodenalis using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) in dogs of Urmia, Iran. Overall, ۲۴۶ stool specimens were collected from ۱۰۰ pet, ۴۹ stray, and ۹۷ shelter dogs in the Urmia, Iran. Totally, seven samples (۲.۴۸%) were microscopically positive in terms of Giardia cyst. The PCR-RFLP analysis revealed that three (۱.۲۱%) and two (۰.۸۳%) samples have the C and D genotypes, respectively. In addition, two samples (۰.۸۳%) were belonged to the AI sub-group. A significant association was determined between the frequency of Giardia infection and life style, age, and stool form of dogs. The findings of the study showed the high frequency of Giardia infection in stray dogs and the dogs under one-year-old. Furthermore, the C and D genotypes of G. duodenalis were predominant in dogs of Urmia, Iran.کلیدواژه ها
