First evidence of free-living Naegleria species in recreational lakes of Alberta, Canada

Journal of Water and Health, 2023
Rising temperatures are increasing environmental habitats for thermotolerant pathogens, such as the so-called ‘brain-eating amoeba’, Naegleria fowleri. To the best of our knowledge, however, Naegleria species have not been reported in environmental water

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

BMC Biology, 2021
Background 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 ...
