Naegleria and Acanthamoeba Infections: Review
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1990Infections caused by small, free-living amebas are still unfamiliar to many clinicians, pathologists, and laboratorians. As of 31 July 1989, more than 140 cases of primary amebic meningoencephalitis caused by Naegleria fowleri and more than 40 cases of granulomatous amebic encephalitis caused by Acanthamoeba species (including two cases in patients ...

Naegleria meningomyeloencephalitis.
The Southeast Asian journal of tropical medicine and public health, 1997A case of primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) with severe spinal cord involvement was documented in a 12 year-old boy from Samut Prakan Province, Thailand. This is the first reported case of Naegleria meningomyeloencephalitis in Thailand. He had a history of swimming in the canal nearby his house prior to the fever, headache and convulsion which ...

Genotyping Naegleria spp. and Naegleria fowleri isolates by interrepeat polymerase chain reaction
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1992All six Naegleria species recognized to date were studied by interrepeat polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Priming at repeat sequences, which are known to be variable among eukaryotes, yielded electrophoretic DNA banding patterns that were specific for any single species.

Youngest Survivor of Naegleria Meningitis
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2012Primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAME) is a rare condition, usually caused by free living motile amebae. These are universally fatal infections with very few survivors reported till now. The authors report a 25-d-old boy, the youngest survivor of Naegleria meningitis. The child was admitted with a diagnosis of partially treated meningitis.

Cytopathogenicity of Naegleria fowleri and Naegleria gruberi for Established Mammalian Cell Cultures
The Journal of Parasitology, 1982Amebae of Naegleria fowleri and Naegleria gruberi were cytopathic for nine established mammalian cell cultures, including mouse and human fibroblasts, rabbit and monkey kidney cells, rat and mouse neuroblastoma cells, baby hamster kidney cells, and human epithelioma and carcinoma cells. Nine strains of N.

Activation of complement by Naegleria
Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1980Neither Naegleria nor its culture supernatant was found to be directly chemotactic for human neutrophils. Interaction of Naegleria with human serum, however, resulted in the generation of a strong chemotactic stimulus. The reduction of serum activity by heat-inactivation indicated a dependence on serum complement for the interaction.

Naegleria fowleri : Trimethoprim Sensitivity
Science, 1980Trimethoprim in a concentration of 4 micrograms per milliliter of Bacto-Casitone (Difco) medium inhibits the growth of nonvirulent Naegleria fowleri isolates. The growth of virulent strains is unaffected even with 400 micrograms of the drug per milliliter of medium.

Understanding Naegleria fowleri
Water e-Journal, 2017Naegleria fowleri is warm water environmental pathogen. his paper presents information on the pathogen, its infection pathway and resulting disease, as well as the Australian historical study that provided the basis of the current potable water advice within the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines (ADWG) and results of more recent disinfection studies.
