J Med Entomol . 1998 Aug; 35(4):514-20. PMID: 9701938
Entomopathogenic nematodes, currently used for biological control of various insect pests, were tested for their ability to penetrate and kill replete females of several species of ticks including Dermacentor variabilis...

Kocan K, Blouin E, Pidherney M, Claypool P, Samish M, Glazer I
Ann N Y Acad Sci . 1998 Jul; 849:355-64. PMID: 9668486
Entomopathogenic nematodes have been used for biological control of certain insect pests. In these studies the nematodes were tested as a possible biological control agent for engorged female ticks. Five...

Taylor W, Pidherney M, Alizadeh H, Niederkorn J
J Parasitol . 1995 Aug; 81(4):603-9. PMID: 7623204
This study examined the mechanism of the cytopathic effect (CPE) of Acanthamoeba castellanii on human target cells. Pathogenic Acanthamoeba trophozoites were incubated with human ocular melanoma (OCM1) cells for 30...

Alizadeh H, Pidherney M, McCulley J, Niederkorn J
Infect Immun . 1994 Apr; 62(4):1298-303. PMID: 8132336
Previous studies have shown that trophozoites of the pathogenic free-living amoeba Acanthamoeba castellanii rapidly lysed a variety of tumor cells in vitro. Tumor cells undergoing parasite-mediated lysis displayed characteristic cell...

Pidherney M, Alizadeh H, Stewart G, McCulley J, Niederkorn J
Cancer Lett . 1993 Aug; 72(1-2):91-8. PMID: 8402581
The chemotactic and tumoricidal properties of the pathogenic/free-living amoeba Acanthamoeba castellanii were examined in vivo and in vitro. A. castellanii trophozoites displayed strong positive chemotactic responses to human melanoma (OCM-1)...

Van Klink F, Alizadeh H, Stewart G, Pidherney M, Silvany R, He Y, et al.
Curr Eye Res . 1992 Dec; 11(12):1207-20. PMID: 1490339
Acanthamoeba castellanii, one isolate from the eye and one from the soil, were compared on the basis of: (a) pathogenic potential; (b) plasminogen activator activity; (c) chemotactic activity; (d) cytopathic...
