Abstract

This study was carried out during the period from March 2016 to January 2017 to detect of genotypes and subgenotypes of Giardia lamblia in human feces by PCR-Restriction fragment length polymorphism based on the detection of glutamate dehydrogenase gene and study the corralation between genotype and prescence of symptoms , a total of 101 stool samples were taken from patients(male and female), aged(2-72) years, who suffering from acute or persistent diarrhea and examined by microscope and molecular techniques , the gdh gene was amplified from 19 cases only by a conventional PCR assay by using a specific oligonucleotide sequence for coding region by gdh gene at size 432bp and typed by RFLP analysis, the results showed the total infection with Giardia lamblia was 84(83.1%) according to the results of microscopic examination, of the 19 positive samples, 2(1.98%) were infected with genotype AI , 3(2.97%) genotype AII , 5(4.95%) genotype BIII and 9(8.91%) infected with genotype BIV, with significance differences between the genotype and precence of symptoms
