Abstract excerpt

All six Naegleria species recognized to date were studied by interrepeat polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Priming at repeat sequences, which are known to be variable among eukaryotes, yielded electrophoretic DNA banding patterns that were specific for any single species. With a single PCR and sim...
