dichlobanil and Keratitis, Acanthamoeba

dichlobanil has been researched along with Keratitis, Acanthamoeba in 3 studies

2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile : A nitrile that is benzonitrile which is substituted by chlorines at positions 2 and 6. A cellulose synthesis inhibitor, it is used as a pre-emergent and early post-emergent herbicide.
