Journal Article
Giardia duodenalis in faecal samples from calves in Poland
2025
Overview
is the prevalent parasitic protozoan responsible for diarrhoeal disease in humans and animals. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and assemblages of this parasite present in cattle in Poland.
Faecal samples were collected from 1,602 cattle up to 4 months old, bred on 267 farms located in all 16 voivodeships of Poland. Extraction of DNA was performed using a modified alkaline and a heat lysis method. Molecular detection of
gene by PCR and sequence analysis were performed.
In 174 of 1,602 (10.9%) tested cattle and in 89 of 267 examined herds (33.3%),
DNA was detected. The highest prevalence of
in cattle was found in the Lubelskie (25%), Mazowieckie (21.3%) and Zachodniopomorskie (20.4%) voivodeships. In other regions, the prevalence did not exceed 10%. The number of
-positive cattle decreased with animal age. The most frequently identified assemblage in cattle was E (89.2%), and A and B were detected more seldom in 9.0% and 1.8% of cattle, respectively. No significant differences in positive results were observed in cattle depending on production purpose.
The study results showed a high prevalence of
in cattle in Poland. The presence of the
A and B assemblages indicates a potential zoonotic threat.
