Fig 1. Detection of Giardia miR5 in human duodenum biopsies.

RNA was extracted from 8 duodenum biopsies of Giardia positive patients or as control group, from 4 gastric biopsies of Giardia positive patients and from 6 random gastric biopsies. The RNA was subjected to qRT-PCR (see Methods) with specific primers to miR5. Each dot represents patient’s or control individual’s samples. Mean ± SEM are depicted by horizontal lines. ***, P< 0.0001, calculated by unpaired t-test.
