FatalNaegleria fowleriMeningoencephalitis, Italy

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004
We report the first case of primary amebic meningoencephalitis in Italy, in a 9-year-old boy. Clinical course was fulminant, and diagnosis was made by identifying amebas in stained brain sections and by indirect immunofluorescence analysis. Naegleria fowleri was characterized as genotype I on the basis of polymerase chain reaction test results.

HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors as Drug Leads against Naegleria fowleri.

ACS Chemical Neuroscience, 2020
Primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), caused by the free-living ameba Naegleria fowleri, has a fatality rate of over 97%. Treatment of PAM relies on amphotericin B in combination with other drugs, but few patients have survived with the existing drug

18S rRNA Metagenomic Analysis of Nodular Gill Disease in Swiss Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 48, Issue 3, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Nodular gill disease (NGD) is a serious proliferative gill condition that affects farmed salmonids, particularly in Europe. While the cause of NGD remains unknown (and maybe multifactorial), various amoebae are often isolated from the gills of affected fish and can in some cases be seen associated with lesions by histopathology.

Encystation:the most prevalent and underinvestigated differentiation pathway of eukaryotes [PDF]

, 2018
Not long ago, protists were considered one of four eukaryote kingdoms, but recent gene-based phylogenies show that they contribute to all nine eukaryote subdomains.

Identifying the common interaction networks of amoeboid motility and cancer cell metastasis [PDF]

, 2012
The recently analyzed genome of Naegleria gruberi, a free-living amoeboflagellate of the Heterolobosea clade, revealed a remarkably complex ancestral eukaryote with a rich repertoire of cytoskeletal-, motility- and signaling-genes.

Differential remodelling of peroxisome function underpins the environmental and metabolic adaptability of diplonemids and kinetoplastids [PDF]

, 2016
The remodelling of organelle function is increasingly appreciated as a central driver of eukaryotic biodiversity and evolution. Kinetoplastids including Trypanosoma and Leishmania have evolved specialized peroxisomes, called glycosomes.

Naegleria fowleriin Well Water

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
To the Editor: Naegleria fowleri, a protozoon found in hot springs and warm surface water, can cause primary amebic meningoencephalitis in humans. A survey of drinking water supply wells in Arizona determined that wells can be colonized and may be an unrecognized source of this organism that could present a human health risk. N.
