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 ...

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.

Many pathogenicity factors are involved in the development of primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) caused by N fowleri. However, most of them are not exclusive for N fowleri and they have not even been described in other nonpathogenic Naegleria ...

Primary Amoebic (Naegleria) Meningoencephalitis
Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography, 1982The computed tomographic (CT) appearance of a case of primary meningoencephalitis due to the free living amoeba Naegleria fowleri is presented. The cisterns around and above the midbrain and the subarachnoid spaces were obliterated on precontrast CT. Marked enhancement in these regions was seen after intravenous contrast medium administration.

Concanavalin A-Induced Agglutination of Naegleria
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1977Concanavalin A (Con A) agglutinated all Naegleria gruberi strains tested but did not agglutinate any N. fowleri strains tested. Agglutination was time and temperature dependent and Con A concentration and ameba concentration dependent over certain ranges. Agglutination increased to maximum up to 1 h incubation with Con A.

Naegleria fowleri is the etiologic agent of primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, a rapidly fatal parasitic disease of humans. The adherence of Naegleria trophozoites to the host cell is one of the most important steps in the establishment and invasiveness of this infectious disease.

Cell surface differences of Naegleria fowleri and Naegleria lovaniensis exposed with surface markers
Experimental Parasitology, 2007Differences in the distribution of diverse cell surface coat markers were found between Naegleria fowleri and Naegleria lovaniensis. The presence of carbohydrate-containing components in the cell coat of the two species was detected by selective staining with ruthenium red and alcian blue. Using both markers, N. fowleri presented a thicker deposit than
