The Giardia lamblia vsp gene repertoire: characteristics, genomic organization, and evolution

BACKGROUND: Giardia lamblia trophozoites colonize the intestines of susceptible mammals and cause diarrhea, which can be prolonged despite an intestinal immune response. The variable expression of the variant-specific surface protein (VSP) genes may contribute to this prolonged infection. Only one i...
