Glutamato desidrogenase
Abstract in Portuguese
O protozoário flagelado Giardia duodenalis é um parasito intestinal que pode infectar uma ampla variedade de mamíferos, incluindo os humanos e os animais domésticos e selvagens. Devido à carência de informações a respeito da caracterização molecular de amostras de Giardia spp. no Brasil, o presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar 113 amostras de fezes positivas para Giardia spp. de origem humana e animal. Um segmento do gene que codifica a enzima glutamato desidrogenase (gdh) dos isolados provenientes de 37 humanos, 31 cães, 20 gatos, 12 bugios, cinco bezerros, três chinchilas, duas avestruzes, dois cachorros-do-mato e uma onça-pintada foi amplificado e seqüenciado. A análise da seqüência de nucleotídeos do gene gdh mostrou que estes isolados foram divididos em seis linhagens genéticas principais (Assemblages A, B, C, D, E, F). O genótipo AII foi identificado apenas nas amostras de humanos, enquanto o genótipo AI foi detectado nos isolados de origem animal (gato, bezerro, onça-pintada). Os isolados de Giardia spp. provenientes dos humanos, bugios, chinchilas e avestruzes foram caracterizados como pertencente ao genótipo BIV. Entretanto, os demais Assemblages foram identificados apenas em um grupo específico de hospedeiros. Assemblage C e D foram encontrados nas amostras de cães e cachorros-do-mato, Assemblage F nas amostras de gatos e Assemblage E nas amostras de bezerros. A caracterização molecular das amostras de Giardia spp. gera uma importante contribuição para o conhecimento da especificidade de hospedeiro dos diferentes genótipos.

Abstract in English
The flagellated protozoan Giardia duodenalis is an intestinal parasite that can infect a broad variety of mammalian hosts, including humans and domestic and wild animals. Due the lack of information about the molecular characterization of Giardia spp. in Brazil, this study aimed to analyse 113 stool samples from human and animals, all positive to Giardia spp. A segment of the glutamate dehydrogenase gene (gdh) of isolates from 37 humans, 31 dogs, 20 cats, five calves, 12 wild monkeys, three chinchilas, two ostrichs, two crab-eating-foxes and one jaguar was amplified and sequenced. Nucleotide sequences analysis of gdh gene showed that these isolates could be divided into six main genetic lineage (Assemblages A, B, C, D, E, F). The genotype AII was identified only in human isolates, whereas genotype AI was detected in a variety of animals (cat, calf, jaguar). In adition, Giardia spp. isolates recovered from human, wild monkeys, chinchila and ostrichs were characterized as genotype BIV. However the other Assemblages identified were confined to restrict host species. Assemblages C and D were found in isolates from dogs and crab-eating-foxes, Assemblage F from cats and Assemblage E from calves. The molecular characterisation of Giardia spp. isolates has made a major contribution to our understanding of the host specificity of different genotypes.
