Genotypic, phenotypic, biochemical, physiological and pathogenicity-based categorisation of Acanthamoeba strains.

Folia parasitologica - 1 Jun 2003

Khan Naveed Ahmed, Tareen Noor Khan

Abstract excerpt

The genus Acanthamoeba includes more than 20 morphological species, but classification is problematical. Recently, the discovery of substantial interstrain differences in ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequences has prompted questions about the relatedness of strains of the same species. In this study, therefore, we have investigated relationships between two isolates of A. polyphaga, CCAP 1501/3c and ATCC 30871, using...
