Insights from the DNA databases: approaches to the phylogenetic structure of Acanthamoeba.

Experimental parasitology - 1 Nov 2014

Fuerst Paul A

Abstract excerpt

Species of Acanthamoeba have been traditionally described using morphology (primarily cyst structure), or cytology of nuclear division (used by Pussard and Pons, 1977). Twenty-plus putative species were proposed based on such criteria. Morphology, however, is often plastic, dependent upon culture conditions. DNA sequences of the nuclear small subunit (18S) rRNA that can be used for the study of the phylogeny of...
