International Journal for Parasitology, 2011 The completion of the genome project for Naegleria gruberi provides a unique insight into the metabolic capacities of an organism, for which there is an almost complete lack of experimental data. The metabolism of Naegleria seems to be extremely versatile, as can be expected for a free-living amoeboflagellate, but although considered to be fully ...

Naegleria australiensis isolated from a wastewater treatment station in Santiago Island, Cape Verde
Journal of Water and Health, 2023 Despite the Naegleria genus being isolated from different natural environments such as water, soil, and air, not all Naegleria species are capable of causing infections in humans, and they are capable of completing their life cycle in environmental ...

Naegleria fowleri meningoencephalitis [PDF]
Neurology, 2003 A previously healthy 5-year-old boy presented with severe headache and neck stiffness. On examination, he exhibited somnolence and nuchal rigidity. The results of CSF studies were as follows: red blood cells, 400/mm3; white blood cells, 1,150/mm3 (91% polymorphonuclear cells); glucose level, …
