Occurrence and Multi-Locus Genotyping of Giardia duodenalis in Bamaxiang Pigs in Bama Yao Autonomous County of Guangxi Province, China
This study represents the first report demonstrating that <i>G. duodenalis</i> infection is prevalent in Bamaxiang pigs, with variable positivity rates across different growth stages. The zoonotic assemblage A was the predominant assemblage, suggesting a potential risk of transmission to humans through close contact with this specific pig breed. The results provide basic data for controlling infections in Bamaxiang pigs.
