Journal Article
Acanthamoeba : biology and increasing importance in human health
2006
Overview
Abstract
Acanthamoeba
is an opportunistic protozoan that is widely distributed in the environment and is well recognized to produce serious human infections, including a blinding keratitis and a fatal encephalitis. This review presents our current understanding of the burden of
Acanthamoeba
infections on human health, their pathogenesis and pathophysiology, and molecular mechanisms associated with the disease, as well as virulence traits of
Acanthamoeba
that may be targets for therapeutic interventions and/or the development of preventative measures.
