Acanthamoeba differentiation: a two-faced drama of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

Parasitology - 1 Jun 2012

Siddiqui Ruqaiyyah, Dudley Ricky, Khan Naveed Ahmed

Abstract excerpt

The ability of cyst-forming protists such as Acanthamoeba to escape death by transforming into a cyst form, that is resistant to harsh physiological, environmental and pharmacological conditions, has continued to pose a serious challenge to human and animal health. A complete understanding of the fundamental principles of genome evolution and biochemical pathways of cellular differentiation offers unprecedented...
