Signal peptide variation in cyst lectins as a potential marker for pathogenic Acanthamoeba spp.

Parasites & vectors - 16 Mar 2026

Tsai Chih-Ming, Cheng Wei-Hung, Lin Wei-Chen

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Acanthamoeba species are free-living protists widely distributed in natural and artificial environments, including freshwater, soil, and water-associated facilities. Some isolates can cause opportunistic human infections, such as Acanthamoeba keratitis and granulomatous amoebic encephalitis. The life cycle of Acanthamoeba includes an active trophozoite stage and a dormant cyst stage. The cyst is...
