Viability of pathogenic and nonpathogenic free-living amoebae in long-term storage at a range of temperatures.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The long-term storage of pathogenic and nonpathogenic strains of both Naegleria and Acanthamoeba spp. were tested on Page amoeba saline agar slopes for 24 months at room temperature and for 8 months at -10, 4, 10, and 15 degrees C. Acanthamoeba strains showed better survival potential than Naegleria strains, particularly when they were stored at temperatures equal to or lower than room temperature.

The role of cell-mediated immunity in defense against pathogenic free-living amoebae was examined. Both the in vitro macrophage inhibition test and the in vivo delayed hypersensitivity test showed responses to both heterologous and homologous antigens, although homologous systems were the most efficient. It is suggested that exposure to nonpathogenic species of free-living amoebae can stimulate...

Species of small, free-living amoebae of the genera Naegleria and Acanthamoeba can cause fatal amoebic meningoencephalitis. Previous investigations have shown that pathogenic amoebae are associated with thermally altered water. Flow cytometric techniques for identifying species of pathogenic and nonpathogenic amoebae from such water have been developed, using immunofluorescence and fluorescein-...
