Abstract
An experiment was performed which confirmed a previous finding that mice are protected against Naegleria fowleri infection by immunization with amoeba-free supernatant from amoeba cultures. Histological observations suggested that this protection is expressed mainly at the nasal mucosa and possibly results from the combined effects of polymorphonuclear leucocyte-mediated killing of the amoeba and mechanical elimination of the organisms by extensive shedding of necrotic epithelium.Entities:
