update on acanthamoeba jacobsi genotype t15, including full-length 18s rdna molecular phylogeny.free-living amoebae of the genus acanthamoeba are worldwide present in natural and artificial environments, and are also clinically important, as causative agents of diseases in humans and other animals. acanthamoeba comprises several species, historically assigned to one of the three groups based on their cyst morphology, but presently recognized as at least 20 genotypes (t1-t20) on the basis of their nuclear 18s ribosomal rna (rrna) gene (18s rdna) sequences. while strain identification may us ...201728190156
phylogeography, genetic variability and structure of acanthamoeba metapopulations in iran inferred by 18s ribosomal rna sequences: a systematic review and meta-analysis.to verify phylogeography and genetic structure of acanthamoeba populations among the iranian clinical isolates and natural/artificial environments distributed in various regions of the country.201729080613
comparison of potentially pathogenic free-living amoeba hosts by legionella spp. in substrate-associated biofilms and floating biofilms from spring environments.this study compares five genera of free-living amoebae (fla) hosts by legionella spp. in the fixed and floating biofilm samples from spring environments. detection rate of legionella spp. was 26.9% for the floating biofilms and 3.1% for the fixed biofilms. acanthamoeba spp., hartmanella vermiformis, and naegleria spp. were more frequently detected in floating biofilm than in fixed biofilm samples. the percentage of pathogenic acanthamoeba spp. among all the genus acanthamoeba detected positive s ...201121831404
isolation and identification of legionella and their host amoebae from weak alkaline carbonate spring water using a culture method combined with pcr.legionella were detected with the direct dna extraction method, legionella culture method, and free-living amoebae (fla) culture method from weak alkaline carbonate spring water in taiwan. moreover, we also investigated the existence of acanthamoeba, hartmannella, and naegleria, ubiquitous fla in aquatic environments, to identify the correlations between existing legionella. this study reports detecting legionella in 15 of the 51 weak alkaline carbonate spring water samples (29.4%). this work al ...201121537990
genotyping of acanthamoeba t15: the environmental strain in turkey.environmental sources are potential sources for the transmission of acanthamoeba in humans and other mammals.201525424836
diversity and seasonal impact of acanthamoeba species in a subtropical rivershed.this study evaluated the presence of acanthamoeba species in the puzih river watershed, which features typical subtropical monsoon climate and is located just above the tropic of cancer in taiwan. the relationship between the seasonal and geographical distributions of acanthamoeba species in this rivershed was also investigated. acanthamoeba species were detected in water samples using the amoebal enrichment culture method and confirmed by pcr. a total of 136 water samples were included in this ...201324490160
