Molecular and morphological characterization of Acanthamoeba isolated from corneal scrapes and contact lens wearers in Argentina

In this study, we describe the frequency of Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) in patients that assisted in the Ophthalmology Department and determine the species/genotypes of free living amoebas (FLA) isolates. FLA from Corneal scrapes (CS) and contact lens (CL) wearers were studied by morphological and m...
