New Species of Protists Involved in Meningitis and Encephalitis in Peru: Morphology Description

2023-03-07

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Free-living amoebas (FLA), also amebas, are eukaryotic and mitochondrial microorganisms that are capable of growing in any environment, aquatic or terrestrial. These free-living amoebas are mostly non-pathogenic to humans. However, there exist some highly pathogenic species, such as Acanthamoeba — mainly T-4 genotype —, Naegleria fowleri (known as brain-eating amoeba), and Balamuthia mandrill...
