Biology and pathogenesis of Naegleria fowleri [PDF]
Acta Tropica, 2016 Naegleria fowleri is a protist pathogen that can cause lethal brain infection. Despite decades of research, the mortality rate related with primary amoebic meningoencephalitis owing to N. fowleri remains more than 90%. The amoebae pass through the nose to enter the central nervous system killing the host within days, making it one of the deadliest ...

Identification of Naegleria fowleri proteins linked to primary amoebic meningoencephalitis [PDF]
, 2017 Naegleria fowleri (N. fowleri) causes primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, a rapidly fatal disease of the central nervous system. N. fowleri can exist in cyst, flagellate or amoebic forms, depending on environmental conditions.

Ultrastructure of Naegleria fowleri enflagellation [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1981 Amoebae of Naegleria fowleri nN68 became elongated flagellated cells 150 to 180 min after subculture to non-nutrient buffer. N. fowleri NF69 did not become elongated or flagellated under these conditions. Electron microscopic examination of N. fowleri confirmed that it is a typical eucaryotic protist with a distinct nuclear envelope and prominent ...
