Genetic variation in the free-living amoeba Naegleria fowleri.

Applied and environmental microbiology - 1 Aug 1998

Pélandakis M, De Jonckheere J F, Pernin P

Abstract excerpt

In this study, 30 strains of the pathogenic free-living amoeba Naegleria fowleri were investigated by using the randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) method. The present study confirmed our previous finding that RAPD variation is not correlated with geographical origin. In particular, Mexican strains belong to the variant previously detected in Asia, Europe, and the United States. In France, surprisingly,...
