Abstract
The long-term storage of pathogenic and nonpathogenic strains of both Naegleria and Acanthamoeba spp. were tested on Page amoeba saline agar slopes for 24 months at room temperature and for 8 months at -10, 4, 10, and 15 degrees C. Acanthamoeba strains showed better survival potential than Naegleria strains, particularly when they were stored at temperatures equal to or lower than room temperature.
