Development of test method for anti-amoebic activity

This study was carried out to obtain preliminary data of anti-amoebic screening test using non-pathogenic free living amoebae (FLA) and thus develop an appropriate preliminary test method for anti-amoebic activity. The anti-amoebic screening test was performed by treating free living amoebae with...
