First report on Giardia duodenalis assemblage F in Slovakian children living in poor environmental conditions.
CONCLUSION: This study is the first finding of cat specific assemblage F in man not only in Slovakia, but also in Europe. The absence of molecular data about G. duodenalis in companion animals in Slovakia establishes a strong need for further investigation for potential sources of giardiasis and understanding the epidemiology will help to improve the preventive strategies in eradication of infection in this population.
