LLA Ventura, DR Oliveira, JC Viana, JFG Santos… - Experimental …, 2013 - Elsevier
Giardiasis is one of the most common parasitic diseases worldwide, and the disease is an
important cause of diarrhoea and malabsorption in children and immunosuppressed
individuals. However, there is no evidence that characterises malnutrition as an aggravating
factor for this disease. We evaluated changes in villi structures to examine the association
between malnutrition and Giardia lamblia infection. We used 32 gerbils, divided into 4
groups: Control (CT) and Control Infected (CTIn), which each received a 20% protein diet …
