Abstract excerpt

Acanthamoeba is an opportunistic protozoan that is widely distributed in the environment and can cause human infections. The life cycle of Acanthamoeba consists of an infective trophozoite form. However under harsh environmental conditions trophozoites differentiate into a double-walled, metabolically inactive and resistant cyst form. Research in Acanthamoeba has mostly focussed on the infective trophozoite form...
