  1. 1. Host-Pathogen Responses during Giardia infections

    Författare :Emma Ringqvist; Staffan Svärd; Patricia Johnson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Giardia; parasite infection; host-parasite releationship; immune activation; virulence factor; immune evasion; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Microbiology; Mikrobiologi; mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Sammanfattning : Giardia lamblia is a eukaryotic parasite of the upper small intestine of humans and animals. The infecting trophozoite cells do not invade the epithelium lining of the intestine, but attach to the brush border surface in the intestinal lumen. The giardiasis disease in humans is highly variable. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Regulation of differentiation during the Giardia life cycle : An insight into the molecular control

    Författare :Laura Rojas-López; Staffan Svärd; Marco Lalle; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Giardia; cell differentiation; encystation; histone post-translational modifications; host-parasite interaction;

    Sammanfattning : Giardia intestinalis (syn. G. lamblia, G. duodenalis) is an intestinal protozoan parasite that causes diarrheal infections worldwide. LÄS MER

  4. 3. The interplay between Giardia intestinalis and host intestinal epithelial cells : A tale of immune activation and suppression

    Författare :Jana Grüttner; Staffan Svärd; Mikael E. Sellin; Steven Singer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Giardia; diarrhea; RNAseq; proteomics; small intestinal epithelial cells; enteroids; organoids; protozoan; differentiation; immune response; host-parasite interaction; swimming; Biologi med inriktning mot mikrobiologi; Biology with specialization in Microbiology;

    Sammanfattning : Giardia intestinalis is a non-invasive, protozoan parasite causing the diarrheal disease giardiasis in a variety of mammals, including humans. The parasite has two main life cycle stages; disease-causing trophozoites and infectious cysts. Trophozoites colonize the host’s upper small intestine by attaching to intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). G. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Studies of Giardia-host interactions: role of cysteine-rich surface proteins

    Författare :Dimitra Peirasmaki; Staffan Svärd; Steven Singer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Giardia; intestinal parasite; parasite infection; host-parasite interaction; virulence factors; HCMPs; cysteine-rich proteins; secretome; proteome;

    Sammanfattning : Giardia intestinalis is a eukaryotic parasite that colonizes the small intestine of humans and animals causing the diarrheal disease known as giardiasis. This parasite is not invasive and does not internalize into host cells but it rather attaches to the brush border surface of the small intestine disrupting the epithelial barrier. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Inter and Intra-Assemblage Characterizations of Giardia intestinalis: from clinic to genome

    Författare :Johan Ankarklev; Staffan Svärd; Johanna P. Daily; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Giardia; protozoa; parasite infection; diarrhea; genome sequencing; comparative genomics; genotyping; ASH; MLG; Infektionssjukdomar; Infectious Diseases; Molekylär medicin; Molecular Medicine; Mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Sammanfattning : The protozoan parasite Giardia intestinalis (syn. G. lamblia, G. duodenalis) is one of the most common causes of diarrheal disease throughout the world, where an estimated 500 million people are infected annually. LÄS MER
