Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.Background: Acanthamoeba species are recognized as the most prevalent free‐living amoebae (FLA). They can cause granulomatous amebic encephalitis (GAE) and pulmonary and ocular infections. The present study aimed to isolate and identify Acanthamoeba genotypes in cancer patients referred to Kashan’s hospitals in Central Iran.

Mimivirus Relatives in the Sargasso Sea [PDF]
arXiv, 2005 The discovery and genome analysis of Acanthamoeba polyphaga Mimivirus, the largest known DNA virus, challenged much of the accepted dogma regarding viruses. Its particle size (>400 nm), genome length (1.2 million bp) and huge gene repertoire (911 protein coding genes) all contribute to blur the established boundaries between viruses and the smallest ...

Quercetin as a Promising Antiprotozoan Phytochemical: Current Knowledge and Future Research Avenues
BioMed Research International, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.Despite tremendous advances in the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, only few antiparasitic drugs have been developed to date. Protozoan infections such as malaria, leishmaniasis, and trypanosomiasis continue to exact an enormous toll on public health worldwide, underscoring the need to discover novel antiprotozoan drugs. Recently, there

Mimivirus and the emerging concept of "giant" virus [PDF]
arXiv, 2005 The recently discovered Acanthamoeba polyphaga Mimivirus is the largest known DNA virus. Its particle size (>400 nm), genome length (1.2 million bp) and large gene repertoire (911 protein coding genes) blur the established boundaries between viruses and parasitic cellular organisms.

Application of Metagenomic Next‐Generation Sequencing in the Diagnosis of Infectious Keratitis
Journal of Ophthalmology, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.Purpose. To determine the advantages of next‐generation metagenomic sequencing (mNGS) technology in the diagnosis and treatment of infectious keratitis (IK). Methods. A total of 287 patients with IK admitted to the Department of Ophthalmology of Nanjing First Hospital between August 2018 and December 2022 were analyzed retrospectively, and the ...

Giant viruses in the oceans : the 4th Algal Virus Workshop [PDF]
arXiv, 2005 Giant double-stranded DNA viruses (such as record breaking Acanthamoeba polyphaga Mimivirus), with particle sizes of 0.2 to 0.6 micron, genomes of 300 kbp to 1.200 kbp, and commensurate complex gene contents, constitute an evolutionary mystery. They challenge the common vision of viruses, traditionally seen as highly streamlined genomes optimally ...
