This book provides the first comprehensive review of Acanthamoeba
research. Everything that is known about Acanthamoeba is critically
reviewed and divided into easy-to-follow sections. The book
presents the current state of research on every aspect of this
organism, detailing major advances in areas such as genomics,
molecular and cellular biology, life cycles, geographical
distribution, role in ecosystem, morphology, motility,
phylogenetics, genotyping, metabolism, regulation of morphogenesis,
host-parasite interactions, the molecular and immunological basis
of pathogenesis, methods of transmission, epidemiology, clinical
manifestation, diagnosis, treatment, new target development and
drug resistance, as well as its role as a Trojan horse of the
microbial world, including viral, bacterial, protozoal and fungal
pathogens, and much more. There is a significant emphasis on the
knowledge of Acanthamoeba infections that has grown in the
molecular era. In addition, this book provides a historical
perspective on Acanthamoeba research that will be of considerable
interest. This compilation will serve as an essential reference for
microbiologists, immunologists, and physicians in the field of
basic and medical microbiology, as well as an invaluable reference
for new and experienced researchers who wish to understand this
organism better. The book is the definitive guide to current
research on this increasingly important organism.
