In the present overview, these differences and similarities are reviewed with emphasis in the host-parasite interplay and possible mechanisms of virulence of the protozoon.45-58engAntigensGiardia duodenalisIsoenzymesNucleic acidsProteasesReviewisoenzymeparasite antigenGiardiahost parasite interactionAntigenic VariationAntigens, ProtozoanDNA, BacterialEndopeptidasesHost-Parasite RelationsNucleic AcidsProtozoan ProteinsInvited review Giardia duodenalis: Inter-strain variability of proteins, antigens, proteases, isoenzymes and nucleic acidsGiardia duodenalis: variabilidade da composição protéica e antigênica, de proteases e isoenzimas, e de ácidos nucléicos entre os isoladosArtigo10.1590/S0036-46651999000100009S0036-46651999000100009Acesso aberto2-s2.0-0032617707S0036-46651999000100009.pdf
