Abstract excerpt

Acanthamoeba is a widespread free-living amoeba that can cause rare but serious opportunistic infections in humans and animals. Various species have been described based on morphological criteria that have proven unreliable, and strain identification is currently based on genotype assignment using nuclear 18S rDNA sequences. Most Acanthamoeba strains belong to genotype T4, which is the most abundant in the...
