RESUMEN

The purpose of the present investigation, was to analyze the sequences of 16S ribosomal genes partially amplified from 17 isolated Giardia intestinalis obtained from faces of 13 children with intestinal pathology and four symptoms-free children with intestinal pathology. Analysis was made also with Giardia Portland-I and four Giardias isolated from dogs. Children ages in both groups ranged from six to twelve years. Genomic DNA was isolated using the phenol-chloroform-isoamyl alcohol technique, and partial amplification of 16S rRNA ribosomal gene was carried out by the Polymerase Chain Reaction. Sequences of rDNA were compared with Portland-I by using CLUSTAL-W (1.81) and PHYLIP (3.6) software in order to determine phylogenic associations. Our results showed that only one isolate from symptoms-free children and three from the symptomatic children were associated with Portland I. The other isolated Giardias were associated between them and with two samples obtained from dogs that are phylogenetically distant from Portland-I. Two isolates from dog constituted a different group. These results suggest a zoonotic infection and presence of symptoms in children from the present investigation; probably it was associated with host or special characteristics of Giardia strains. The last two situations have a special epidemiological and public health interest.
