Detection of Acanthamoeba and Toxoplasma in River Water Samples by Molecular Methods in Iran
Background:Free-living amoebae such as Acanthamoeba species may act as carriers of Cryptosporidium and Toxoplasma oocysts, thus, may play an important role in the water-borne transmission of these parasites. In the present study, a loop mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method for detection...
