Primary Amoebic Meningoencephalitis by Naegleria fowleri: Pathogenesis and Treatments
Biomolecules, 2021 Naegleria fowleri is a free-living amoeba (FLA) that is commonly known as the “brain-eating amoeba.” This parasite can invade the central nervous system (CNS), causing an acute and fulminating infection known as primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM).

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.

Primary Amoebic Meningoencephalitis Caused by Naegleria fowleri
International Healthcare Review (online)BACKGROUND: Naegleria fowleri is a free-living amoeba (FLA) ubiquitous to the environment. Although harmless when ingested, it can access a person's brain through the nasal cavities and cause an acute infection known as primary amoebic ...

Youngest Survivor of Naegleria Meningitis [PDF]
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2012 Primary 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.

Serology of Naegleria fowleri and Naegleria lovaniensis in a Hospital Survey1
The Journal of Protozoology, 1987ABSTRACTAn avidin‐biotin horseradish peroxidase method was used to detect antibodies to Naegleria fowleri and N. lovaniensis in human serum samples. Antibodies were detected in 101 specimens from 115 hospital patients ranging in age from 15 to 98 years. Class‐specific anti‐immunoglobulins identified antibodies as IgG and IgM.
