Balamuthia mandrillaris trophozoites ingest human neuronal cells via a trogocytosis-independent mechanism

Abstract Background Environmental protozoa need an adaptation mechanism to survive drastic changes in niches in the human body. In the brain parenchyma, Balamuthia mandrillaris trophozoites, which are causative agents of fatal brain damage, must acquire nutrients through the ingestion of surrounding...
