Dietary tryptophan rescues growth impairment during giardiasis independently of parasite burden

Rita Taye Kosile, Vanessa V Angelova, Peiran Shen, Leila Pagel, Evan L. Pannkuk, Bergeline C. Nguemwo Tentokam, Luther A. Bartelt, Steven M. Singer

This study shows dietary tryptophan improves growth in Giardia-infected mice without reducing parasite load, suggesting a role for AHR signaling in epithelial barrier function.

Analysis of in vivo infection dynamics using bioluminescent Giardia duodenalis

Rita Taye Kosile, Bergeline C. Nguemwo Tentokam, Peiran Shen, Nikki Farnham, Katherine McGowan, Scott C. Dawson, Steven M. Singer

This study develops a bioluminescent reporter system to track Giardia duodenalis infection in mice, showing strong correlation with direct parasite counts and enabling longitudinal analysis of infection dynamics.
