The in vitro and in vivo testing of chemotherapeutic agents against pathogenic free living amebae : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Microbiology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand. [PDF]
, 1980 During the last ten years, there has been an increasing awareness of sporadic cases of Primary Amoebic Meningo-encephalitis (PAM) affecting primarily younger age groups and appearing in an acute fulminant form. The earliest positive case (Willaert, 1974)

Primary amoebic meningoencephalitis: amoebicidal effects of clinically approved drugs against Naegleria fowleri [PDF]
, 2014 Here we tested the effects of clinically approved drugs targeting vital cellular receptors and biochemical pathways against Naegleria fowleri. For the first time, our findings revealed that digoxin and procyclidine showed potent amoebicidal effects as no

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2025.Free‐living amoebae and bacteria were monitored along a salinity gradient over 1 year. Naegleria and Vibrio were the most represented genera, with salinity and dissolved oxygen identified as key factors structuring amoebae diversity and associated bacterial communities under changing environmental conditions.

FatalNaegleria fowleriMeningoencephalitis, Italy
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 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. Naegleria fowleri was characterized as genotype I on the basis of polymerase chain reaction test results.

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 72, Issue 5, September/October 2025.ABSTRACT Several distantly related, deep‐branching lineages within the eukaryotic tree of life share what is known as the “typical excavate” morphology. This cell architecture includes a suspension‐feeding ventral groove, supported by complex and specific structures of the cytoskeleton, and a vane‐bearing posterior flagellum.

PROTEOMIC ANALYSIS OF TWO DIFFERENT STATES OF NAEGLERIA FOWLERI [PDF]
, 2011 Naegleria fowleri are free-living ameboflagellates found in soil and freshwater habitats throughout the world that cause a fatal disease in humans called Primary Amoebic Meningoencephalitis (PAM).
