dc.description.abstractRandom amplified polymorphism DNA (RAPD) is a useful tool for species identification. The obtained band patterns can be used for specific primer pair design that may be useful for species diagnosis. In this study, a distinctive a 962-bp band in A. polyphaga band patterns was found, by using the OPC20 primer (ACTTCGCCAC). The DNA fragment was used to design a specific primer pair that was useful for the identification of different isolates as A. polyphaga species. A case of A. polyphaga in disseminated acanthamoebiasis affecting mesenteric nodes is also reported.en
