Abstract
|
|
|
Acanthamoeba spp., spread in soil, ponds, air and swimming pool, cause a granulomatous amoebic meningitis and amoebic keratitis in human beings man and experimental animals. Their classification has depended upon morphological characteristics and physiological conditions such as thermophilic status and generation times. However, because amoeba species showed the morphological and physiological diversity in isolation, many attempts have been made on the identification of Acanthamoeba spp.
Acanthamoeba sp. YM-7 is a similar species to A. polyphaga. Acanthamoeba sp. YM-5 is a different species from A. polyphaga. But closely-related to A. culbertsoni.
Acanthamoeba sp. YM-4 can be classified as a subspecies or a strain of A. culbertsoni. key word : Acanthamoeba
