N2 - A model has been developed for investigating the mechanism of attachment of Giardia trophozoites to the microuillus border of cultured intestinal epithelial cells. The specimens were examined under a low voltage (<4 keV) in the Hitach S-900 field emission scanning electron microscope. Results show that ventrolateral flange (VLF) may help mediate attachment by forming strong focal adhesions with microvilli on the Caco-2 cell surface.
