18S ribosomal DNA genotypes of Acanthamoeba species isolated from contact lens cases in the Philippines.

Parasitology research - 1 Oct 2009

Rivera Windell L, Adao Davin Edric V

Abstract excerpt

This study was carried out to document the genotypes of Acanthamoeba present in contact lens cases from 50 randomly selected contact lens wearers living in Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines. Acanthamoeba species were isolated from eight (16%) in 50 contact lens cases examined. We analyzed partial 18S ribosomal DNA (Rns) sequences of the eight isolates and found that the sequence differences were sufficient...
