Mitochondrial genome diversity of Balamuthia mandrillaris revealed by a fatal case of granulomatous amoebic encephalitis

IntroductionBalamuthia (B.) mandrillaris is a free-living amoeba that can cause rare yet fatal granulomatous amoebic encephalitis (GAE). However, efficacious treatment for GAE is currently unavailable, especially when genomic studies on B. mandrillaris are limited.MethodsIn this study, B. mandrillar...
