Mechanisms of Complement Resistance by Pathogenic Naegleria fowleri Amoebae
, 1993 The genus Naegleria is composed of a distinct group of free-living amoeboflagellates that include both pathogenic and nonpathogenic species. N. fowleri, the only pathogenic species of Naegleria to be isolated from humans, is the etiological agent of ...

In Vitro Activity of Statins against Naegleria fowleri
Pathogens, 2019 Naegleria fowleri causes a deadly disease called primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM). Even though PAM is still considered a rare disease, the number of reported cases worldwide has been increasing each year.

Effect of clotrimazole on Naegleria fowleri. [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1975 The sensitivity of 18 strains of Naegleria fowleri to clotrimazole (Bay b5097) was tested. They showed minimal inhibitory concentrations in the range 0-03-0-125 mug/ml, and minimal amoebicidal concentrations in the range 0-125-0-25 mug/ml. Mice inoculated with N. fowleri were not protected from infection by doses of 100 mg clotrimazole/kg per day given

Distribution of Naegleria fowleri in Selected Northeast Arkansas Lakes
, 1980 Seven northeast Arkansas recreational lakes were examined for the presence of pathogenic and nonpathogenic Naegleria fowleri. Cultural differentiation and microscopic morphology were used as species determining tests, while mouse pathogenicity tests were

Naegleria fowleri: nfa1 gene knock-down by double-stranded RNAs.
, 2008 Nfa1 protein expressed by the nfa1 gene that was cloned recently from pathogenic Naegleria fowleri was found in pseudopodia, especially food-cups, and concerned with a mechanism of pathogenicity of N. fowleri. In the present study, N.

The Mitochondrial Genome and a 60‐kb Nuclear DNA Segment from Naegleria fowleri, the Causative Agent of Primary Amoebic Meningoencephalitis [PDF]
, 2013 Naegleria fowleri is a unicellular eukaryote causing primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, a neuropathic disease killing 99% of those infected, usually within 7-14 days. Naegleria fowleri is found globally in regions including the US and Australia.
