An apparent Acanthamoeba genotype is the product of a chimeric 18S rDNA artifact.

Parasitology research - 1 Feb 2018

Corsaro Daniele, Venditti Danielle

Abstract excerpt

Free-living amoebae of the genus Acanthamoeba are potentially pathogenic protozoa widespread in the environment. The detection/diagnosis as well as environmental survey strategies is mainly based on the identification of the 18S rDNA sequences of the strains that allow the recovery of various distinct genotypes/subgenotypes. The accurate recording of such data is important to better know the environmental...
