Variation between human and animal isolates of Giardia as demonstrated by DNA fingerprinting.
Five Giardia stocks collected from animals and man in Alberta, Canada, were compared by DNA fingerprinting. Although many DNA bands were common to all stocks, differences in the DNA banding patterns were seen. These same stocks had previously been shown to be identical by restriction enzyme cleavage of genomic DNA.
