Short report: Molecular insights for Giardia, Cryptosporidium, and soil-transmitted helminths from a facility-based surveillance system in Guatemala.
Velasquez DE , Arvelo W , Cama VA , Lopez B , Reyes L , Roellig DM , Kahn GD , Lindblade KA . Am J Trop Med Hyg 2011 85 (6) 1141-1143 We molecularly characterized samples with Giardia, Cryptosporidium, and soil-transmitted helminths from a facility-based surveillance system for diarrhea in Santa Rosa, Guatemala. The DNA sequence analysis determined the presence of Giardia assemblages A (N = 7) and B (N = 12) and, Cryptosporidium hominis (N = 2) and Cryptosporidium parvum (N = 2), suggestive of different transmission cycles. All 41 samples with soil-transmitted helminths did not have the beta-tubulin mutation described for benzimidazole resistance, suggesting potential usefulness in mass drug administration campaigns. |
