Parasitology Research, 2023
The members of genus Acanthamoeba are the etiological agent of uncommon but severe or even fatal opportunistic infections in human beings. The presence of different classes of intracellular and extracellular proteases including serine proteases, cysteine proteases, and metalloproteases has been well documented in environmental and clinical isolates of ...

Acanthamoeba is a small, free-living amoeba which is characterized by a feeding and replicating trophozoite and dormant cyst stage. The resistance of acanthamoeba cysts to extremes of temperature, disinfection and desiccation accounts for the ubiquitous distribution of the organism in our ...

Painless Acanthamoeba keratitis
Canadian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2012Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) is known to cause sitethreatening ocular infections. Patients often have a history of improper cleaning of contact lenses (CTL), swimming, or using hot tubs while wearing contact lenses. The hallmark symptom of AK is exquisite pain, often out of proportion to the clinical picture.

Bilateral Acanthamoeba Keratitis
American Journal of Ophthalmology, 2008To determine the prevalence and characteristics of binocular involvement among patients with Acanthamoeba keratitis.Retrospective case series.Risk factors and outcomes of bilateral infection were explored among consecutive cases of Acanthamoeba keratitis diagnosed at a single institution from 1997 through mid 2007.Fifty eyes were confirmed to have ...

Acanthamoeba everywhere: high diversity of Acanthamoeba in soils
Parasitology Research, 2014Acanthamoeba is a very abundant genus of soil protists with fundamental importance in nutrient cycling, but several strains can also act as human pathogens. The systematics of the genus is still unclear: currently 18 small-subunit (SSU or 18S) ribosomal RNA sequence types (T1-T18) are recognized, which sometimes contain several different morphotypes ...

Role of Tear Anti-Acanthamoeba IgA in Acanthamoeba Keratitis
Cornea, 2000Acanthamoeba keratitis is a sight-threatening corneal disease caused by pathogenic free-living amoebae.1The organisms have been isolated from a wide variety of environments and from nasopharyngeal washes of asymptomatic individuals. 1Contact lens wear, practiced by over 25 million individuals in the United States, is the leading risk factor.

Acanthamoeba is a free-living ameba that is present in all types of environments throughout the world. The recent increase in cases of keratitis, especially in relation to an increase in the use of contact lenses, is probably due to the omnipresence of the organism as a result of the pronounced resistance of its cysts to disinfection and desiccation ...

Classification of Acanthamoeba
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1991Members of the genus Acanthamoeba are being isolated with increasing frequency from clinical specimens, especially contact lens solutions. Although the genus was first established in 1931, considerable confusion about its taxonomic classification existed in the literature until recently.
