title: [Role of a free-living amoeba from water, Acanthamoaba castellani, in the transport of naked or enveloped animal viruses].
abstract: The trophozoïts of Acanthamoeba castellanii are unable to adsorb poliovirus or vesicular stomatitis Virus. After encystment in medium containing respectively 5.4 x 10(8) and 3 x 10(9) P.F.U./ml cysts did not contain Viruses. These data do not agree with a current hypothesis by which water's free Amoeba could carry animal Viruses.
