Abstract

Here, we report the genome assembly and annotation of two clinical isolates of Naegleria fowleri from primary amebic meningoencephalitis cases in Costa Rica in 2020 using Illumina sequencing. Each assembly comprised 37 reference-guided scaffolds, with genome sizes of approximately 28 Mbp and a GC content of 36.87%.

Eating the brain - A multidisciplinary study provides new insights into the mechanisms underlying the cytopathogenicity of Naegleria fowleri.

Naegleria fowleri, the causative agent of primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), requires increased research attention due to its high lethality and the potential for increased incidence as a result of global warming. The aim of this study was to investigate the interactions between N. fowleri and host cells in order to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the pathogenicity of this amoeba. A co-culture system comprising human fibrosarcoma cells was established to study both contact-dependent and contact-independent cytopathogenicity. Proteomic analyses of the amoebas exposed to human cell cultures or passaged through mouse brain were used to identify novel virulence factors. Our results indicate that actin dynamics, regulated by Arp2/3 and Src kinase, play a considerable role in ingestion of host cells by amoebae. We have identified three promising candidate virulence factors, namely lysozyme, cystatin and hemerythrin, which may be critical in facilitating N. fowleri evasion of host defenses, migration to the brain and induction of a lethal infection. Long-term co-culture secretome analysis revealed an increase in protease secretion, which enhances N. fowleri cytopathogenicity. Raman microspectroscopy revealed significant metabolic differences between axenic and brain-isolated amoebae, particularly in lipid storage and utilization. Taken together, our findings provide important new insights into the pathogenic mechanisms of N. fowleri and highlight potential targets for therapeutic intervention against PAM.

Detection and identification of Naegleria species along with Naegleria fowleri in the tap water samples.

Naegleria fowleri, the causative agent of Primary Amoebic Meningoencephalitis (PAM), is commonly found in warm freshwater environments and can enter the brain through nasal passages during activities like swimming or ablution. PAM has a high fatality rate, raising concerns about its global health impact. In Pakistan, particularly in Karachi, a significant number of cases have been reported, often with no history of recreational water exposure, but with regular ablution using tap water. This study analyzed the physicochemical parameters, abundance of total and fecal coliforms, and detected N. fowleri and other Naegleria species in tap water samples from Karachi using PCR with ITS- and Naegl-primers. Almost all samples exhibited high temperatures, low chlorine levels, and a high presence of coliforms. N. fowleri and other Naegleria species were detected in 11 out of 39 samples. Sequence analysis identified N. fowleri in tap water from the Golimar and Lyari areas of Karachi, while the other nine samples revealed different Naegleria species. This study suggests that the combination of high temperatures, insufficient chlorination, and the presence of coliforms may create favorable conditions for N. fowleri growth. However, these factors are not exclusive to the Golimar and Lyari areas, indicating that other environmental or infrastructural factors, not detailed in this study, may have contributed to the presence of N. fowleri in that specific location.
