Experimental Granulomatous Amebic Encephalitis Caused by Acanthamoeba castellanii

2024-05-16

Abstract excerpt

Acanthamoeba genus amoebae can affect humans with diseases such as Granulomatous Amebic Encephalitis (GAE), a highly lethal neuroinfection. Several aspects about the disease still need to be elucidated. Animal models of GAE have allowed advances in these aspects. This work tested Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus albinus) as an animal model of GAE. For this, 32 animals were infected with 1x106 A. castellanii trophozo...
