Giardia lamblia is ubiquitous in multiple communities of non-industrialized nations. Genotypes A1, A2, and B (Nash groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively) are found in humans, while genotypes C and D are typically found in dogs. However Genotypes A and B have occasionally been identified in dogs. Fecal Giardia isolates from 22 families and their dogs, living in Pampas de San Juan, were collected over seven weeks in 2002 and six weeks in 2003. Samples were genotyped, followed by sequencing and haplotyping of many of these isolates, using loci on chromosomes 3 and 5. Human infections were all caused by isolates of genotypes A2 and B. Human co-infections with Genotypes A2 and B were common, and the reassortment pattern of different subtypes of A2 isolates supports prior observations suggesting recombination among Genotype A2 isolates. All dogs had genotypes C and/or D with one exception of a dog with a mixed B/D genotype infection. In a highly endemic region where infected dogs and humans constantly commingle, different genotypes of Giardia are almost always found in dogs and humans, suggesting that zoonotic transmission is very uncommon.
