Adelphamoeba
was though to be a member of the genus Naegleria
but had unusual cyst morphology . A
certain amount of confusion exists about the strain Adelphamoeba
now available in collection since it has been shown to be identical to Didaculus
thorni (De Jonckheere et al,
1997). Didaculus thorni has
now been reclassified on the basis of SSUrDNA sequence to Tetramitus
thorni (Brown & De
Jonckheere, 1994). |
