Potentially pathogenic free-living amoebae at very high altitude: Detection by multiplex qPCR in the Northern Altiplano fascioliasis hyperendemic area in Bolivia

Potentially pathogenic free-living amoebae at very high altitude: Detection by multiplex qPCR in the Northern Altiplano fascioliasis hyperendemic area in Bolivia

Free-living amoebae (FLA), which are frequently found in the environment, include opportunistic pathogenic genera/species such as Acanthamoeba spp., Balamuthia mandrillaris, Naegleria fowleri and Vermamoeba vermiformis. These pathogenic FLA are causative agents of amoebic encephalitis and keratitis...
