New data on the cyst structure of Hartmannella vermiformis Page, 1967 (Lobosea, Gymnamoebia)

چکیده
Isolates of widely distributed amoeba species Hartmannella vermiformis differs in the details of cyst structure. This is unusual for gymnamoebae and is important in course of modern approaches to amoebae systematic. Cysts of the isolate of this species, described here, have regular separation of the cyst wall into endocyst and ectocyst, in contrast with the “original” isolates, described by F.C. Page. Fine structure of H. vermiformis cysts is studied and discussed.

Fish-isolated strains of Hartmannella vermiformis page, 1967: morphology, phylogeny and molecular diagnosis of the species in tissue lesions.
Based on morphological and molecular characterisation, four amoeba strains isolated from organs of freshwater fish were identified as Hartmannella vermiformis Page, 1967. Small subunit rRNA gene sequences of these strains expand the set of corresponding complete and almost complete sequences of this species to twelve. A new species-specific oligonucleotide probe inferred from recently available...
متن کاملNeochlamydia hartmannellae gen. nov., sp. nov. (Parachlamydiaceae), an endoparasite of the amoeba Hartmannella vermiformis.
Free-living amoebae are increasingly being recognized to serve as vehicles of dispersal for various bacterial human pathogens and as hosts for a variety of obligate bacterial endocytobionts. Several Chlamydia-like Acanthamoeba endocytobionts constituting the recently proposed family Parachlamydiaceae are of special interest as potential human pathogens. In this study coccoid bacterial endocytob...
متن کاملOccurrence of Thermotolerant Hartmannella vermiformis and Naegleria Spp. in Hot Springs of Ardebil Province, Northwest Iran
BACKGROUND Geothermal waters could be suitable niches for thermophilic free living amoebae including Naegleria and Hartmannella. Ardebil Province, northwest Iran is popular for having many hot springs for recreational and health purposes activity. The present research is the first molecular based investigation regarding the presence of Naegleria and Hartmannella in the hot springs of Ardebil Pr...
متن کاملSequence variations in small-subunit ribosomal RNAs of Hartmannella vermiformis and their phylogenetic implications.
Evidence of associations between free-living amoebas and human disease has been increasing in recent years. Knowledge about phylogenetic relationships that may be important for the understanding of pathogenicity in the genera involved is very limited at present. Consequently, we have begun to study these relationships and report here on the phylogeny of Hartmannella vermiformis, a free-living a...
متن کاملIntrapulmonary Hartmannella vermiformis: a potential niche for Legionella pneumophila replication in a murine model of legionellosis.
The potential role of inhaled protozoa as a niche for intrapulmonary replication of Legionella pneumophila was investigated in vivo with mutant strains of L. pneumophila which have reduced virulence for the amoeba Hartmannella vermiformis. L. pneumophila AA488 and AA502 were derived from wild-type strain AA100 after transposon mutagenesis. These mutants have reduced virulence for H. vermiformis...
