Detection of Free Living Amoeba infection in patients with suspected central nervous system and keratitis disease in Shiraz, southern Iran [PDF]
Journal of Health Sciences and Surveillance System, 2019 Background:Free Living Amoebas, as opportunistic protozoa, can cause more problems such as meningoencephalitis, encephalitis and keratitis in human being. These protozoa have been isolated from many sources in Iran. This study was undertaken to determine

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).

Survival and growth of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia in free-living amoebae (FLA) and bacterial virulence properties. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is found ubiquitously in the environment and is an important emerging nosocomial pathogen. S. maltophilia has been recently described as an Amoebae-Resistant Bacteria (ARB) that exists as part of the microbiome of various ...

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

Spores of the Large Free-living Amoebae [PDF]
Nature, 1956 IN the course of some experiments on Amoebae suggested to me by Dr. P. Couillard of Brussels, I have discovered an easy method of procuring clean spores, newly hatching and developing specimens of the large free-living Amoebae (proteus, lescherae, discoides, kerrii).
