Structure, Dynamics and Cellular Insight Into Novel Substrates of the Legionella pneumophila Type II Secretion System

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2020
Legionella pneumophila is a Gram-negative bacterium that is able to replicate within a broad range of aquatic protozoan hosts. L. pneumophila is also an opportunistic human pathogen that can infect macrophages and epithelia in the lung and lead to ...

The differentiation of free‐living amoebae of the genusMayorella:a biochemical approach

Bolletino di zoologia, 1995
Abstract Four populations of free‐living amoebae of the Mayorella genus, collected from different biotopes, have been studied. Three populations belonging to Mayorella spumosa species were collected from different Italian environments. The fourth population was collected in Uganda.

Glissandra oviformis n. sp.: a novel predatory flagellate illuminates the character evolution within the eukaryotic clade CRuMs

Open Biology
Culturing protists offers a powerful approach to exploring eukaryotic diversity, especially for deep-branching lineages. In this study, we cultured and described a novel protist species, named Glissandra oviformis n sp.

The Genesis of the “Brain-Eating” Amoeba [PDF]

, 2019
The Creator made all creatures, including amoebas, with variation and plasticity in their genome for global differences of climate, terrain, and environment. God made all creatures to multiply and fill the earth.

Gastrointestinal Parasites in Humans and Rhesus Macaques: A Cross‐Sectional Study in Bhaktapur, Nepal

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Gastrointestinal parasitism in wild animals at the human‐wildlife interface may be a warning concern both for wildlife health and human health. The current study was conducted to determine the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites in humans and rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) in the Nilbarahi area, an area with ...

Detection and Confirmation of Naegleria fowleri in a Primary Amebic Meningoencephalitis Patient Using a Molecular Approach

Journal of Parasitology Research
The Naegleria fowleri amoeba stands as the primary culprit behind primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), presenting a substantial global public health concern. In recent years, over 17 cases of PAM have been reported in Karachi, Pakistan, highlighting

Molecular Mimicry: a Paradigm of Host-Microbe Coevolution Illustrated by Legionella

mBio, 2020
Through coevolution with host cells, microorganisms have acquired mechanisms to avoid the detection by the host surveillance system and to use the cell’s supplies to establish themselves.

Amoebas of algebraic varieties and tropical geometry

, 2004
This survey consists of two parts. Part 1 is devoted to amoebas. These are images of algebraic subvarieties in the complex torus under the logarithmic moment map. The amoebas have essentially piecewise-linear shape if viewed at large.
