Giardia duodenalis is considered the most common protozoan infecting humans worldwide.
Molecular characterization of G.
duodenalis isolates has revealed the existence of eight groups (assemblages A to H) which differ in their host distribution.
A cross-sectional study was conducted in 639 children from La Habana between January and December 2013.
Two assemblage-specific PCRs were carried out for the molecular characterization.
The overall prevalence of Giardia infection was 11.9%.
DNA from 63 of 76 (82.9%) samples was successfully amplified by PCR-tpi, while 58 from 76 (76.3%) were detected by PCRE1-HF.
Similar results by both PCRs were obtained in 54 from 76 samples (71%).
According to these analyses, assemblage B and mixed assemblages A + B account for most of the Giardia infections in the cohort of children tested.
Our current study identified assemblage B as predominant genotype in children infected with Giardia.
Univariate analysis indicated that omission of washing hands before eating and keeping dogs at home were significant risk factors for a Giardia infection.
In the future, novel molecular tools for a better discrimination of assemblages at the subassemblages level are needed to verify possible correlations between Giardia genotypes and symptomatology of giardiasis.
