Analysis of Acanthamoeba genotypes from public freshwater sources in Thailand reveals a new genotype, T23 Acanthamoeba bangkokensis sp. nov.
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
A survey of public freshwater sources in Thailand identified a new genotype of Acanthamoeba, named T23 Acanthamoeba bangkokensis sp. nov. Genotype T4 was the most common, and evidence suggested purifying selection and intragenic recombination play a role in the evolution of the 18S rRNA gene in this genus.

Explicación de la calificación
This study provides valuable insights into the genotypic diversity and distribution of Acanthamoeba in Thailand's freshwater sources, including the discovery of a new genotype. The methodology is robust, employing both morphological and molecular characterization. The study's limitations, such as the limited geographical scope within regions and the sole reliance on 18S rRNA gene for genotyping, are acknowledged. Overall, the research significantly contributes to the understanding of Acanthamoeba diversity and evolution, warranting a rating of 4.
