| Research Abstract |
)To Reveal the driving force behind the formation of various genotypes in the population of Giardia intestinalis, and to establish a novel intervention approach using the background mechanisms to control parasites, we conducted a series of cross-sectional molecular epidemiologic investigation in Sumba Island, Indonesia. In this study, we confirmed the endemic status of various intestinal protozoan parasites in the site, and collected various protozoan specimens as references for genetic analyses. G. intestinalis seems to possess different transmission routes according to the genotypes, which might be maintaining each diversified genotype as a result of habitat isolation.
