Article Synopsis
- Primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) is a severe and often deadly infection of the central nervous system caused by a free-living amoeba, with eight known pathogenic genotypes globally.
- A study in Thailand analyzed PAM cases from 1982 to 2021 and performed genotyping on clinical isolates, finding that genotype T3 was responsible for three of four cases, while discrepancies in genotyping indicated possible horizontal gene transfer.
- Ultimately, the research identified at least three genotypes (T2, T3, and T4) associated with PAM in Thailand, with T2 also reported in a traveler infected there.
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) released from pathogenic protozoans play crucial roles in host-parasite communication and disease pathogenesis. is a free-living protozoan causing primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, a fatal disease in the central nervous system. This study aims to explore the roles of -derived EVs (-EVs) in host-pathogen interactions using the THP-1 cell line as a model.

One of the techniques proposed to generate Janus particles is bipolar electrochemistry (BPE). The concept can be applied in a straightforward way for the site-selective modification of conducting particles, but is much less obvious to use for semiconductors.

The aim of this study was to investigate the activity of diosgenin against Naegleria fowleri trophozoites at the cellular and molecular levels. Diosgenin (100 μg/ml; 241.2 μM) had a 100% inhibitory effect on N.
