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.

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.

This study shows Giardia intestinalis induces a Type 2 immune response that reduces inflammation in the gut, protecting against inflammatory bowel-like diseases.

This study shows Giardia increases macrophage IL-10 production in response to LPS via MGL1, suggesting a mechanism for its anti-inflammatory effects.
