Plan to add information on Naegleria fowleri presence in the United States

[edit]

Will add information over some of the major studies done on National Parks and Large bodies of water in which the microbe in question has been found. --Alfonzaux (talk) 00:59, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

minimally chlorinated concentration seems wrong

[edit]

"poorly maintained or minimally chlorinated (under 0.5 mg/m3 residual)" is probably mistaken, and should be 0.5g/m3 or 0.5mg/l.

Minimum chlorine concentration in pools seems to be around 1ppm according to https://ncceh.ca/documents/practice-scenario/pool-chlorination-and-closure-guidelines

Improving structure and quality of this article

[edit]

I strongly suggest anyone with enough time to improve this article consult this peer-reviewed review paper on the subject:

De Jonckheere, J.F., 2011. Origin and evolution of the worldwide distributed pathogenic amoeboflagellate Naegleria fowleri. Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 11(7), pp.1520-1528.

Most of the (many) missing citations in this article can be found in this paper. trees (talk) 23:14, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
