The genome of Naegleria lovaniensis, the basis for a comparative approach to unravel pathogenicity factors of the human pathogenic amoeba N. fowleri

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background Members of the genus Naegleria are free-living eukaryotes with the capability to transform from the amoeboid form into resting cysts or moving flagellates in response to environmental conditions.

Guidelines for the purification and characterization of extracellular vesicles of parasites

Journal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 2, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Parasites are responsible for the most neglected tropical diseases, affecting over a billion people worldwide (WHO, 2015) and accounting for billions of cases a year and responsible for several millions of deaths. Research on extracellular vesicles (EVs) has increased in recent years and demonstrated that EVs shed by pathogenic parasites ...

Naegleria genus pangenome reveals new structural and functional insights into the versatility of these free-living amoebae

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionFree-living amoebae of the Naegleria genus belong to the major protist clade Heterolobosea and are ubiquitously distributed in soil and freshwater habitats. Of the 47 Naegleria species described, N. fowleri is the only one being pathogenic to

Cyanomethyl Vinyl Ethers Against Naegleria fowleri. [PDF]

ACS Chem Neurosci, 2023
Naegleria fowleri is a pathogenic amoeba that causes a fulminant and rapidly progressive disease affecting the central nervous system called primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM). Moreover, the disease is fatal in more than 97% of the reported cases, mostly affecting children and young people after practicing aquatic activities in nontreated fresh ...
