%X Giardia intestinalis, the only causative agent of human giardiasis, can infect a wide range of animals. As no information concerning the prevalence and genotyping of G. intestinalis in raccoon dogs in China is available, examination of 305 faecal samples from raccoon dogs in Jilin Province (n£¿=£¿110), Heilongjiang Province (n£¿=£¿40), Liaoning Province (n£¿=£¿72), Hebei Province (n£¿=£¿54) and Shandong Province (n£¿=£¿29) was conducted to estimate the prevalence of G. intestinalis in raccoon dogs in northern China and identify their genotypes using a genetic approach
