Nanopore sequencing improves the draft genome of the human pathogenic amoeba Naegleria fowleri

5 Nov 2019

Abstract excerpt

Naegleria fowleri is an environmental protist found in soil and warm freshwater sources worldwide and is known for its ability to infect humans and causing a rapid and mostly fatal primary amoebic meningoencephalitis. When contaminated water enters the nose, the facultative parasite follows the olfactory nerve and enters the brain by crossing the cribriform plate where it causes tissue damage and haemorrhagic...
