A complete qPCR kit for the detection of Acanthamoeba SPP
Acanthamoeba spp. are opportunistic protozoan parasites found in water sources worldwide, causing amoebic keratitis and granulomatous amoebic encephalitis in humans. Failure to detect Acanthamoeba early can lead to severe eye infections and potentially fatal brain inflammation. Detection of Acanthamoeba is crucial in the water and healthcare sectors to prevent outbreaks and ensure timely treatment.
YouSeq's qPCR kit to detect Acanthamoeba spp. allows for quick and accurate identification of this pathogen, enabling prompt intervention to prevent infections and save lives. Early detection also helps in reducing healthcare costs and minimizing the impact on affected individuals and communities.
