Detection and Confirmation of Naegleria fowleri in a Primary Amebic Meningoencephalitis Patient Using a Molecular Approach [PDF]
Journal of Parasitology ResearchThe Naegleria fowleri amoeba stands as the primary culprit behind primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), presenting a substantial global public health concern. In recent years, over 17 cases of PAM have been reported in Karachi, Pakistan, highlighting

Detection of Naegleria species in environmental samples from Peninsular Malaysia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BackgroundIn Malaysia, researchers and medical practitioners are unfamiliar with Naegleria infections. Thus little is known about the existence of pathogenic Naegleria fowleri, and the resultant primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) is seldom ...

Computational identification of putative miRNAs and their target genes in pathogenic amoeba Naegleria fowleri [PDF]
, 2015 Naegleria fowleri is a parasitic unicellular free living eukaryotic amoeba. The parasite spreads through contaminated water and causes primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM). Therefore, it is of interest to understand its molecular pathogenesis. Hence,

Virulence-related protein synthesis in Naegleria fowleri [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1991 Protein synthesis patterns of the low-virulence Naegleria fowleri LEE strain from axenic culture, the same strain after mouse brain passage to increase virulence, and the same strain after growth on bacteria were studied. Comparisons of accumulated proteins, in vivo-synthesized proteins, and in vitro-synthesized proteins translated from poly(A)+ mRNA ...

Growth dynamic of biofilm-associated Naegleria fowleri in freshwater on various materials [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyIn industrial water systems, the occurrence of biofilm-associated pathogenic free-living amoebae (FLA) such as Naegleria fowleri is a potential hygienic problem, and factors associated with its occurrence remain poorly understood.
