Ruptured Amoebic Liver Abscess With Empyema, Venous Thromboembolism and Bronchopleural Fistula: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Amoebiasis, a gastrointestinal infection caused by Entamoeba histolytica, is the third leading cause of mortality worldwide among parasitic infections with over 100,000 deaths annually. Apart from dysentery, it can manifest as extraintestinal disease, most commonly liver abscess, and rarely pulmonary, cardiac, and brain involvement.

A Novel Protistan Trait Database Reveals Functional Redundancy and Complementarity in Terrestrial Protists (Amoebozoa and Rhizaria)

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The inclusion of functional traits of protists in environmental sequencing surveys, in addition to the traditional taxonomic framework, is essential for a better understanding of their roles and impacts on ecosystem processes. We provide a database of functional traits for a widespread and important clade of protists—the Amoebozoa—based on ...
