N2 - Brain-eating amoebae are known to harbor a plethora of viral, bacterial, protozoal, and fungal pathogens and safeguard these pathogens against disinfectants. Due to their ubiquitous distribution in the environment and their status as the trojan horse of the microbial world, amoebae can provide novel coronavirus a means to susceptible hosts and possible transmission to the central nervous system. Here, we hypothesize that pursuing the host that harbor “terror cells” is a valuable approach in eradicating novel coronavirus in affected communities.
