Genetic variations in the internal transcribed spacer and mitochondrial small subunit rRNA gene of Naegleria spp.

The Journal of eukaryotic microbiology - 1 Jan 2003

Zhou Ling, Sriram Rama, Visvesvara Govinda S, Xiao Lihua

Abstract excerpt

Naegleria spp. are widely distributed free-living amebas, but one species in the genus, N. fowleri, causes acute fulminant primary amebic meningoencephalitis in humans and other animals. Thus, it is important to differentiate N. fowleri from the rest in the genus of Naegleria, and to develop tools for the detection of intra-specific genetic variations. In this study, one isolate each of N. australiensis, N....
