Decimal reduction times of Acanthamoeba sp. cysts in Perna viridis broth and phosphate-buffered saline systems

ABSTRACT This study established the thermal resistance characteristics of Acanthamoeba sp. cysts in Perna viridis broth (PvB) and phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Cysts were propagated by the agar block method using heat-killed E. coli as nutrient overlay. Viability counts of thermally treated cysts...
