Natural and Acquired Soil Quality along Environmental Gradients (tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain)

Abstract Tenerife Island, has a wide environmental diversity due to its altitude (3718m at its highest point) and to the climatic differences between its windward and leeward slopes. This work studies the changes in the natural soil quality along environmental gradients on the Tenerife Island and how this natural quality is modified by man’s effect on the ecosystem. For this purpose, a total of...

Evaluation of Acanthamoeba isolates from environmental sources in Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain.

Tests for potentially pathogenic amoebae were carried out in order to determine the presence of free-living amoebae of genus Acanthamoeba in soil and beach sand sources related to human environments in Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain. Acanthamoeba identification was based on the morphology of cyst and trophozoite forms and PCR amplification with a genus specific primer pair. The pathogenical po...
