The pathogenic free-living amoebas (FLAs), Acanthamoeba spp. and Naegleria fowleri, can cause fatal infections, including amoebic encephalitis. They are ubiquitously distributed in nature, including in diverse bodies of water. In order to survey Acanthamoeba spp. and N. fowleri in source water in Korea, we used culture-based real-time PCR to detect viable FLAs in 52 source water samples collected between July 2017 and December 2017. Acanthamoeba spp. and N. fowleri were detected in 42 samples (80.8%) and 6 samples (11.5%), respectively. Acanthamoeba spp. were detected at approximately the same frequency in all seasons, but N. fowleri was mainly detected in summer and autumn, with no N. fowleri detected in winter. These results demonstrate that these pathogenic FLAs, especially N. fowleri, which has caused deaths in the United States and China, are widely distributed in the Korean aquatic environment.

대상 데이터
A total of 52 samples were collected from source water for Korean tap water treatment, between July and December in 2017 (Fig. 1). Each sample consisted of one liter of water collected from a single sampling location.
Acanthamoeba castellanii (Douglas) Page (ATCC 30011) and Naegleria fowleri Carter (ATCC 30215) were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA, USA). To maintain both amoebas in their active states, the A.

8%) samples, respectively (Table 2). These results indicated that culture-based real-time PCR is a more sensitive method for detecting FLAsfrom aquatic environmental samples than nonculture-based real-time PCR. Acanthamoeba, which has been very commonly detected in previous environmental studies (Marcino-Carbraland Carbral, 2003), was detected in 80.
