Morphological Characterization and Genotyping of Acanthamoeba Isolates From Oral and Nasal Samples of Cancer Patients in Kashan, Iran. [PDF]
Can J Infect Dis Med MicrobiolBackground: 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.

Free-Living Amoebas in Extreme Environments: The True Survival in our Planet. [PDF]
Biomed Res Int, 2022 Free‐living amoebas (FLAs) are microorganisms, unicellular protozoa widely distributed in nature and present in different environments, such as water or soil; they are maintained in ecosystems and play a fundamental role in the biological control of bacteria, other protozoa, and mushrooms.

Amoeba species colonizing the gills of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in Swiss aquaculture
Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 46, Issue 9, Page 987-999, September 2023., 2023 Abstract Nodular gill disease (NGD) is an infectious condition characterized by proliferative gill lesions leading to respiratory problems, oxygen deficiency and mortality in fish. Globally, NGD primarily impacts freshwater salmonids in intensive aquaculture systems.

A global review of problematic and pathogenic parasites of farmed tilapia
Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 15, Issue S1, Page 92-153, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Over the past 80 years, tilapia have been translocated globally for aquaculture; active production is recorded in >124 countries. Of 7 million tonnes of tilapia produced in aquaculture, 79% is from 79 countries outside the natural range of tilapia.

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 1, Issue 1, Page 43-53, March 2022., 2022 Abstract Introduction Fungal plant pathogens are an emerging threat to economically important crop production worldwide and a significant risk to global food security. However, we have limited knowledge of how agricultural management practices drive the emergence and spread of pathogens within crop microbiomes and the underlying ecological mechanisms ...

The Depositional Record, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 165-209, February 2022., 2022 Three active travertine sites were investigated in Central Italy to identify the types of carbonate precipitates and the associated microbial mats at varying physico‐chemical parameters. This study confirms that microbial communities in hydrothermal settings vary as a function of water temperature.

Antimicrobial Agents Based on Metal Complexes: Present Situation and Future Prospects
International Journal of Biomaterials, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 The rise in antimicrobial resistance is a cause of serious concern since the ages. Therefore, a dire need to explore new antimicrobial entities that can combat against the increasing threat of antibiotic resistance is realized. Studies have shown that the activity of the strongest antibiotics has reduced drastically against many microbes such as ...

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 13, Issue 5, Page 708-719, October 2021., 2021 Summary Amoebae interact with bacteria in multifaceted ways. Amoeba predation can serve as a selective pressure for the development of bacterial virulence traits. Bacteria may also adapt to life inside amoebae, resulting in symbiotic relationships. Indeed, particular lineages of obligate bacterial endosymbionts have been found in different amoebae ...

The Important Role of Metal Ions for Survival of Francisella in Water within Amoeba Environment
BioMed Research International, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021 Francisella tularensis is a gram‐negative facultative intracellular bacterium that resists harsh environments. Several outbreaks of tularemia are linked to the consumption and contact with spring water. The number of F. tularensis in some waters is high, while in others, this bacterium does not survive.

The Cyst Wall Composition of Hartmannella glebae
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1984 In this study cyst walls of Hartmannella glebae were isolated and quantitatively analyzed. They were fractionated into alkali-insoluble and alkali-soluble fractions. The alkali-insoluble fraction appeared to be cellulose which represented 4.2% of the total weight of the wall.
