Presence of Acanthamoeba spp. in watering trough in La Pampa province, Argentina

Free-living Amoebae of Acanthamoeba genus include non-pathogenic and pathogenic strains that are currently classified in 18 different genotypes, T1-T18. In this study, a survey was carried out to evaluate the presence of Acanthamoeba strains inwatering trough sample in La Pampa province, Argentina....

Sample were inoculated onto non-nutrient agar plates and were checked for the presence of Acanthamoeba.
