Amoebae as Targets for Toxins or Effectors Secreted by Mammalian Pathogens
Toxins, 2021 Numerous microorganisms, pathogenic for mammals, come from the environment where they encounter predators such as free-living amoebae (FLA). The selective pressure due to this interaction could have generated virulence traits that are deleterious for ...

Bacteria and free-living amoeba in the Lascaux Cave [PDF]
Research in Microbiology, 2009 The Lascaux Cave was discovered in 1940, and by 1960 it had received up to 1800 daily visitors. In 1963, the cave was closed and in 2001 it was invaded by a Fusarium solani species complex which was treated for four years with benzalkonium chloride. However, Lascaux Cave bacteria have only been poorly investigated.

Free-living amoebae isolated in the Central African Republic: epidemiological and molecular aspects
The Pan African Medical Journal, 2017 Among the many species of free-living amoebae infecting humans, only Naegleria fowleri, a few species of Acanthamoeba, Balamuthia mandrillaris recently Sappinia diploïdea and Paravahlkampfia Francina are responsible for human diseases especially deadly ...

The maintenance of free-living amoebae by cryopreservation
The Korean Journal of Parasitology, 1992 We have successfully cryopreserved free-living amoebae in order to maintain them feasibly under the conditions in our laboratory. The viability of trophozoites was higher when frozen by slow cooling (overall 0.7 degree C/min) than by fast cooling (overall 1.3 degrees C/min).

Pathogenic free-living amoebae
The Korean Journal of Parasitology, 1990 Studies on pathogenic free-living amoebae performed in Korea were briefly reviewed. One strain of Naegleria fowleri was isolated from the sewage, and 3 strains of Acanthamoeba culbertsoni from a reservoir and the gill of fish. They were identified by morphological characteristics. Three strains among the 4 were experimentally proved pathogenic to cause
