Acanthamoeba spp.: Neglected Protists in Veterinary Medicine
Propose
Acanthamoebaspp. are widespread free-living protists found in various natural and man-made habitats. At times, they can become parasitic, leading to conditions such as Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK), granulomatous amoebic encephalitis (GAE), and systemic infections in humans and animals. In veterinary medicine, infections caused by Acanthamoeba spp. are frequently underdiagnosed, necessitating a high degree of clinical vigilance and laboratory technical skill for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
Methods
This review aimed to provide an overview of documented natural infections in animals with Acanthamoeba spp. to enhance veterinary professionals' awareness of these organisms' potential risks.
Results
This review records natural infections of animals with Acanthamoeba and its interaction with pathogenic bacteria, highlighting the importance of Acanthamoeba spp. in veterinary medicine.
Conclusion
Acanthamebiasis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of systemic diseases, especially with neurologic involvement. Since this neglected infection can impact the lives and livelihoods of many animals, informing veterinarians and animal owners is necessary.
期刊介绍：
Acta Parasitologica is an international journal covering the latest advances in the subject.
Acta Parasitologica publishes original papers on all aspects of parasitology and host-parasite relationships, including the latest discoveries in biochemical and molecular biology of parasites, their physiology, morphology, taxonomy and ecology, as well as original research papers on immunology, pathology, and epidemiology of parasitic diseases in the context of medical, veterinary and biological sciences. The journal also publishes short research notes, invited review articles, book reviews.
The journal was founded in 1953 as "Acta Parasitologica Polonica" by the Polish Parasitological Society and since 1954 has been published by W. Stefanski Institute of Parasitology of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw. Since 1992 in has appeared as Acta Parasitologica in four issues per year.
