Agglutination of Naegleria fowleri and Naegleria gruberi by antibodies in human serum [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1983 The capability of serum samples from 423 human subjects to agglutinate rounded cells of Naegleria fowleri nN68 was assessed. Sera from the umbilical cords of seven infants failed to agglutinate N. fowleri cells. The median agglutination titer was 1:4 for sera from children through age 4 years, 1:8 for sera from juveniles 5 to 15 years of age, and 1:16 ...

Naegleria fowleri and Naegleria gruberi 20S proteasome: identification and characterization
European Journal of Cell Biology, 2020 The Naegleria are ubiquitous free-living amoebae and are characterized by the presence of three phases in their biological cycle: trophozoite, cyst and flagellate. Of this genus, only Naegleria fowleri has been reported as pathogenic to humans. The proteasome is a multi-catalytic complex and is considered to be the most important structure responsible ...
