Comparison of real-time PCR methods for the detection of Naegleria fowleri in surface water and sediment.

Parasitology research - 1 May 2015

Streby Ashleigh, Mull Bonnie J, Levy Karen, Hill Vincent R

Abstract excerpt

Naegleria fowleri is a thermophilic free-living ameba found in freshwater environments worldwide. It is the cause of a rare but potentially fatal disease in humans known as primary amebic meningoencephalitis. Established N. fowleri detection methods rely on conventional culture techniques and morphological examination followed by molecular testing. Multiple alternative real-time PCR assays have been published for...
