73: Detecting amoeba: development of a PCR test

27 min • 20 januari 2023

This episode features an interview with Dr. Jose Alexander and Dustin Evans from AdvenHealth. They join the podcast to talk about a PCR test that they developed to detect amoeba. Not only it detects Naegleria fowleri, which is isolated in cases of Primary Amebic meningoencephalitis, but two other amoeba as well. Which ones does this test detect? Detecting amoeba in the laboratory is challenging due to lack of tests and trained personnel. How does this test compare to others? Tune in to find out.
