Prevalence of Acanthamoeba and other naked amoebae in South Florida domestic water.

Journal of water and health - 1 Mar 2008

Shoff M E, Rogerson A, Kessler K, Schatz S, Seal D V

Abstract excerpt

The purpose was to identify the prevalence of naked amoebae in tap water in south Florida to ascertain the risk of amoebal infections of the cornea in contact lens wearers. Over the course of a 2-year period, water samples were collected from sites throughout Broward, Palm Beach, and Dade countie...
