Opportunistic free: Living amoeba now becoming a usual pathogen?
Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology, 2017 Acanthamoeba species cause granulomatous Acanthamoeba encephalitis in immunocompromised patients. We report a case of acute purulent meningoencephalitis with a focal neurological deficit caused by Acanthamoeba species in a 2 years immunocompetent child.

The susceptibility of pathogenic free-living amebae to chemotherapeutic agents : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Microbiology at Massey University [PDF]
, 1979 The treatment of infections caused by pathogenic free-living amebae (PFLA) has, until only recently, been far from successful. The continued screening of chemotherapeutic agents against amebae of the genera Naegleria and Acanthamoeba is therefore of the ...

Bilateral Acanthamoeba keratitis [PDF]
, 2012 Acanthamoeba keratitis is a rare eye infection commonly misdiagnosed as herpes simplex or fungal keratitis. Failure to include it in the differential diagnosis in any contact lens wearer with the typical features of an eye infection, results in a ...

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 5, July 2025.Abstract Infectious diseases impact numerous organisms. Knowledge of host‐pathogen interactions and host responses to infection is crucial for conservation and management. Obtaining this knowledge quickly is made increasingly possible by a variety of genomic approaches, yet, for many species the bottleneck to understanding this, remains access to ...
