Genotypic diversity and molecular epidemiology of Acanthamoeba keratitis in China: Identification of novel T4 variants and source attribution.

Parasitology international - 1 Dec 2026

Jiang Chao, Zhang Yang, Wang Zhiqun, Sun Xuguang

Abstract excerpt

Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) is a severe, vision-threatening protozoan infection with a rising global incidence linked to contact lens use, necessitating robust genotyping to clarify its epidemiology and pathogenesis. This study analyzed the genotype distribution of 102 Acanthamoeba isolates collected from clinical settings in China between 1991 and 2014, comprising 100 isolates from corneal scrapings of...
