<i>Naegleria fowleri:</i> protein structures to facilitate drug discovery for the deadly, pathogenic free-living amoeba

2020-10-20

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Naegleria fowleri is a pathogenic, thermophilic, free-living amoeba which causes primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM). Penetrating the olfactory mucosa, the brain-eating amoeba travels along the olfactory nerves, burrowing through the cribriform plate to its destination: the brain’s frontal lobes. The amoeba thrives in warm, freshwater environments, with peak infection rates in the summer mo...
