Development of a nested PCR for environmental detection of the pathogenic free-living amoeba Balamuthia mandrillaris.

Arine F Ahmad1, Peter W Andrew, Simon Kilvington.   

Abstract

A DNA extraction and nested PCR method for detecting the pathogenic amoeba Balamuthia mandrillaris from the environment was developed. Sixteen of 17 Californian soil samples were positive compared with 0/44 from the United Kingdom. This approach will enable a greater understanding of B. mandrillaris ecology, geographic distribution, and public health risk.
