Distribution of Naegleria fowleri in Selected Northeast Arkansas Lakes [PDF]
, 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

Detection of Naegleria species in environmental samples from Peninsular Malaysia.
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 ...

Fatal Naegleria fowleri meningoencephalitis, Italy [PDF]
, 2004 We report the first case of primary amebic meningoencephalitis in Italy, in a 9-year-old boy. Clinical course was fulminant, and diagnosis was made by identifying amebas in stained brain sections and by indirect immunofluorescence analysis.
