Host resistance of mice to Naegleria fowleri infections [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1983 Naegleria fowleri is an etiological agent of primary amoebic meningoencephalitis in humans and laboratory animals. The determinative factors in host resistance of mice to N. fowleri infections have not been fully characterized. Male or female B6C3F1 mice stimulated by intraperitoneal administration of 10(6) amoebae of N. fowleri nN68 per mouse produced

Environmental factors affecting encystment of P.F.L.A. together with disinfection studies: a thesis is presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Microbiology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
, 1986 Free living amoebae from the genera Naegleria and Acanthamoeba have been implicated in fatal and several non-fatal infections of the human central nervous system, and other organs. They can be isolated from a worldwide range of environments.

Induced encystment improves resistance to preservation and storage of Acanthamoeba castellanii [PDF]
, 2008 Several conditions that allow the preservation, storage and rapid, efficient recovery of viable Acanthamoeba castellanii organisms were investigated. The viability of trophozoites (as determined by time to confluence) significantly declined over a period

Modification of resistance of mice to Naegleria fowleri infections [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1976 Naegleria fowleri, which produces a fatal meningoencephalitis in humans, is also able to produce a progressive and fatal disease in mice. The course of the disease in DUB/ICR mice is dependent upon the infecting dose of organisms, whether administered intraperitoneally (i.p.) or intravenously (i.v.). All of the mice receiving 10(7) trophozoites/mouse i.

The susceptibility of pathogenic free-living amebae to chemotherapeutic agents : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Microbiology at Massey University [PDF]
, 1979 The treatment of infections caused by pathogenic free-living amebae (PFLA) has, until only recently, been far from successful. The continued screening of chemotherapeutic agents against amebae of the genera Naegleria and Acanthamoeba is therefore of the ...
