Résumé
Natural hot springs are ideal places and environmental matrices that offer relaxation to people and microorganisms of different types. A total of 40 surface water samples were collected from the five identified collection sites, eight water samples for each site. Collection sites are designated 200 m apart to cover the entire study site. Surface water samples were collected approximately 10-20 cm from the surface. Water samples were filtered, cultured, and microscopically observed for 14 days. After 14 days of cultivation, eight (20%) water samples revealed cystic and trophozoite stages. Polymerase chain reaction using JDP1 and JDP2 specific primers confirmed the presence of
