Our Naegleria fowleri products
Naegleria fowleri, a free-living amoeba widely distributed in soil and water, is the causative agent of primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, a human fatal disease.
The N.fowleri species has been isolated from swimming pools, freshwater lakes, thermal springs, freshwater habitats, polluted waters....
Therefore, on a public health point of view, it is important to identify aeras containing N.fowleri.
Specific methods are required, due to the large homology existing between N.fowleri and other non pathogenic forms of Naegleria.
On the basis of a monoclonal antibody specific to N.fowleri, Indicia Biotechnology offers a complete product line of immunochemicals dedicated to N.fowleri identification (antigen as well as antibodies):
