Genomics and transcriptomics yields a system-level view of the biology of the pathogen Naegleria fowleri

BMC Biology, 2021
The opportunistic pathogen Naegleria fowleri establishes infection in the human brain, killing almost invariably within 2 weeks. The amoeba performs piece-meal ingestion, or trogocytosis, of brain material causing direct tissue damage and massive ...

Epidemiology and Clinical Characteristics of Primary Amebic Meningoencephalitis Caused by Naegleria fowleri: A Global Review.

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2020
BACKGROUND Primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) is a rapidly progressive and often fatal condition caused by the free-living ameba Naegleria fowleri. To estimate the global occurrence, characterize the epidemiology, and describe the clinical features

Isolation of Naegleria spp. from a Brazilian Water Source

Pathogens, 2020
The genus Naegleria, of the free-living amoeba (FLA) group, has been investigated mainly due to its human health impact, resulting in deadly infections and their worldwide distribution on freshwater systems. Naegleria fowleri, colloquially known as the &#

Naegleria gruberi metabolism

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 species population found in pond water of parks in Mashhad city, Can the physicochemical factors affect it?

MethodsX, 2018
Naegleria species are the ubiquitous free-living amoebas that are found worldwide in soil and water. Among Naegleria spp., N. fowleri can cause primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM). Ninety water samples were collected from the pond of parks.
