Central nervous system parasites

Abstract

When parasitic infections of the Central Nervous System (CNS) are examined, we encounter quite a lot of parasites. Among protozoans, especially free-living amoebae (such as Naegleria, Acanthamoeba, Balamuthia, and Sappinia) have attracted attention in recent years. In addition to these, Microsporidia (Encephalitozoon), Hartmanella, Malaria, Toxoplasma, etc. will appear. It is important that different parasites are identified using different laboratory methods and their treatments are also different. © 2024 Nova Science Publishers, Inc. All rights reserved.
