| dc.description.abstract | Acanthamoeba, a ubiquitous free living protozoa, has been implicated in a number of diseases, the most serious are Acanthamoeba keratitis (Cohen et al., 1987; Moore, 1989) and granulomotous amoebic encephalitis in immunosuppressed patients (Martinez, 1985). Identification techniques of this organism are scanty and nonspecific in Malta. This can easily lead to misidentification of the amoeba, especially by an inexperienced observer (Silvany et al., 1987). | en_GB |
