A study of various environmental factors on the growth, encystment and survival of free living amoebae : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Microbiology at Massey University [PDF]
Free-living amoebae (FLA) are soil organisms which have a worldwide distribution. Interest was raised when they were implicated in two fatal and several non-fatal infections in humans. This investigation involved examination of the role and/or effect of
