Giardia assemblage A: human genotype in muskoxen in the Canadian Arctic
Abstract As part of an ongoing program assessing the biodiversity and impacts of parasites in Arctic ungulates we examined 72 fecal samples from muskoxen on Banks Island, Northwest Territories, Canada for Giardia and Cryptosporidium . Cryptosporidium spp. were not detected, but 21% of the samples we...
