Occurrence of Thermotolerant Hartmannella vermiformis and Naegleria Spp. in Hot Springs of Ardebil Province, Northwest Iran
BACKGROUND Geothermal waters could be suitable niches for thermophilic free living amoebae including Naegleria and Hartmannella. Ardebil Province, northwest Iran is popular for having many hot springs for recreational and health purposes activity. The present research is the first molecular based investigation regarding the presence of Naegleria and Hartmannella in the hot springs of Ardebil Pr...
متن کاملElastase in the pathogenic free-living amoebae Naegleria and Acanthamoeba spp.
The data showed that pathogenic free-living amoebae contain the proteolytic enzyme elastase. The levels of enzyme were similar in Naegleria fowleri, N. australianis italica, and Acanthamoeba culbertsoni A-1. No difference was found between elastase levels in a highly pathogenic N. fowleri and those in the same organism which had lost pathogenicity as a result of long-term axenic maintenance.
متن کاملThermotolerant Acanthamoeba spp. isolated from therapeutic hot springs in Northwestern Iran.
This study was conducted to address the distribution of Acanthamoeba genotypes in therapeutic hot springs in Iran. Sixty water and sediment samples were collected from bicarbonate, sulphur, and sodium chloride thermal springs in the northwest. All hot springs examined are used mainly for health purposes in Iran. Acanthamoeba were identified by both morphology and PCR (polymerase chain reaction)...
متن کاملMorphological and Molecular Identification of Acanthamoeba Spp from Surface Waters in Birjand, Iran, During 2014-2015
Background & Aims of the Study: Free-living amoebae (FLA) are opportunistic and ubiquitous protozoa that are widely found in various environmental sources. They are known to cause serious human infections including a fatal encephalitis, a blinding keratitis, and pneumonia. So, due to their medical importance, the identification of free living amoeba in water resources, as a sou...
متن کاملIsolation of Free-Living Amoebae from Sarein Hot Springs in Ardebil Province, Iran
BACKGROUND Free-living amoebae (FLA) are a group of ubiquitous protozoan, which are distributed in the natural and artificial environment sources. The main aim of the current study was to identify the presence of FLA in the recreational hot springs of Sarein in Ardebil Province of Iran. METHODS Seven recreational hot springs were selected in Sarein City and 28 water samples (four from each ho...
