Naegleria amoebae seek confinement and crawl persistently through narrow spaces

Katrina Velle, Meera Ramaswamy, Babak Vajdi Hokmabad…·Lillian K. Fritz‐Laylin

This study investigates how Naegleria amoebae navigate narrow spaces and environments, finding they use bleb-based motility and exhibit memory-guided movement that may aid in pathogenesis.
