The Important Role of Metal Ions for Survival of Francisella in Water within Amoeba Environment
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.

Abstract Neoparamoeba perurans is the causative agent of amoebic gill disease (AGD). Two loop‐mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assays targeting the parasite 18S rRNA and the Atlantic salmon EF1α, used as internal control, were designed. The N. perurans LAMP assay did not amplify close relatives N. pemaquidensis and N.

Hartmannella / Copromyxa The 18S rDNA sequences of the two strains most closely related to Hartmannella / Copromyxa were highly divergent (p -distance 9.4%, 113 differing positions). In the ML phylogeny (Fig. 4A) they were most closely related to and had a basal position in the lineage including Copromyxa protea, Copromyxa / Hartmannella ...

First Report of Hartmannella keratitis in a Cosmetic Soft Contact Lens Wearer in Iran
Background: Poor hygiene will provide good condition for corneal infections by opportunistic free-living amoebae (FLA) in soft contact lens wearers. In the present study an amoebic keratitis due to Hartmannella has been recognized in a 22-year-old girl ...

Identification of "Ryan Virus" as an amoeba of the genus Hartmannella. [PDF]
A recent paper (Pereira, et al., 1966) reported the isolation in Britain of several strains of an antibiotic-resistant infective agent that caused unusual cytopathic effects when inoculated into cell cultures. The new agent was evidently recoverable from the respiratory tract in certain patients, mostly young children, with illnesses of varying ...
