Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to analyze the internal transcribed spacers regions (ITS) of the of 5.8S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene of four isolants of Naegleria fowleri. Three of four Thai strains were isolated from patients and one from the environment. All four strains were confirmed to be N. fowleri by species-specific PCR using DNA extracted using a QIAamp DNA mini kit. The ITS lengths observed were ITS1, 85 bp;...
