Transmission ofBalamuthia mandrillarisby Organ Transplantation [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2016
During 2009 and 2010, 2 clusters of organ transplant-transmitted Balamuthia mandrillaris, a free-living ameba, were detected by recognition of severe unexpected illness in multiple recipients from the same donor.We investigated all recipients and the 2 donors through interview, medical record review, and testing of available specimens retrospectively ...

Isolation and identification of free-living amoeba from the hot springs and beaches of the Caspian Sea

Parasite Epidemiology and Control, 2020
Free-living amoeba (FLA) such as Acanthamoeba, Naegleria, Balamuthia, and Vermamoeba have been identified from both natural and human-made environments such as Hot springs and spa. Naegleria fowleri causes Primary Amoebic Meningoencephalitis (PAM), while

First Draft Genome Sequence of Balamuthia mandrillaris, the Causative Agent of Amoebic Encephalitis [PDF]

, 2015
The free-living amoeba Balamuthia mandrillaris is a rare but highly lethal agent of amoebic encephalitis in humans and many other mammalian species. Here, we announce the first draft genome sequence of the original 1990 isolate cultured from the brain of

Sequences and draft annotations of computationally predicted proteins from Balamuthia mandrillaris

, 2021
This file contains the sequences and draft annotations of computationally predicted proteins from Balamuthia mandrillaris. The sequences are reconstructed from RNA sequencing of logarithmic phase trophozoites, the infective form of the amoeba. Reads were

Balamuthia mandrillaris encephalitis: Survival of a child with severe meningoencephalitis and review of the literature

, 2013
Balamuthia mandrillaris causes granulomatous amoebic encephalitis, which is frequently fatal. There are few reports of survival in children. A 4-year-old child developed severe meningoencephalitis with multiple intracranial ring-enhancing lesions ...

Clinical metagenomic identification of Balamuthia mandrillaris encephalitis and assembly of the draft genome: the continuing case for reference genome sequencing.

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) is a rare, often lethal, cause of encephalitis, for which early diagnosis and prompt initiation of combination antimicrobials may improve clinical outcomes. METHODS: In this study, we sequenced a full
