Identification of new targets for the diagnosis of cysts (four) and trophozoites (one) of the eye pathogen <i>Acanthamoeba</i>

2024-10-17

Abstract excerpt

Acanthamoebae , which are free-living amoebae, cause corneal inflammation (keratitis) and blindness, if not diagnosed and effectively treated. While trophozoites adhere to and damage the cornea, Acanthamoeba cysts, the walls of which contain cellulose and have two layers connected by conical ostioles, are the diagnostic form by microscopy of the eye or of corneal scrapings. We recently used structural and experim...
