Experimental Infection of Naegleria fowleri in Mice

Journal of the Japanese Association for Infectious Diseases, 1998
Ten SPF mice (ddY, 4w-old, female) were infected by nasal instillation with an isolate of Naegleria fowleri that was first isolated from a patient with primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) in Japan. Of these mice, 2 showed clinical signs typical for PAM on the 4th day.

Providing an in vitro depiction of microglial cells challenged with immunostimulatory extracellular vesicles of Naegleria fowleri

Frontiers in Microbiology
Naegleria fowleri is the causative agent of primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, a rapid and acute infection of the central nervous system with a fatal outcome in >97% of cases. Due to the infrequent report of cases and diagnostic gaps that hinder the

Neuroinfecção por Naegleria fowleri:

Revista Neurociências, 1999
As amebas de vida livre são seres vivos que se distribuem amplamente no planeta e, em determinadas circunstâncias, podem provocar infecções em animais, dentre os quais o Homo sapiens sapiens. Neste âmbito, vem merecendo destaque a espécie Naegleria fowleri, capaz de desencadear quadros extremamente graves, habitualmente de difícil abordagem diagnóstica
