Detection and differentiation of pathogenic Acanthamoeba

Detection and differentiation of pathogenic Acanthamoeba

Acanthamoeba are free-living and opportunistic protozoa that are ubiquitous in nature. Human infection due to Acanthamoeba can involve the brain, skin, lung and eyes. However, eye infection, Acanthamoeba keratitis, is the most common infection. Acanthamoeba keratitis is a sight threatening corneal d...
