Molecular characterization of local isolates of acanthamoeba spp.

The genus of Acanthamoeba comprises several species of amoebae and they are found in various habitats. Although free-living, these amoebae can infect humans and a variety of mammals and may invade brain, eyes, skin, bones and lungs. The taxonomy and classification of Acanthamoeba is still unclear an...
