  • IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) is a common digestive disorder marked by abdominal pain and changes in bowel habits, often following infections like gastroenteritis.
  • Giardia duodenalis, a water-borne pathogen, can lead to complications such as GI malabsorption and may be linked to postinfectious IBS (PI-IBS).
  • A new study using neonatal rats infected with Giardia shows that even after clearing the infection, rats developed hypersensitivity and gut changes, suggesting a model for understanding the mechanisms behind PI-IBS.

We show here that CD4+ T cell regulation is the main determinant of parasite survival. In a laboratory model of infection, using Litomosoides sigmodontis in BALB/c mice, parasites establish for >60 days in the thoracic cavity.
