Free-living amoebae isolated in the Central African Republic: epidemiological and molecular aspects
The Pan African Medical Journal, 2017 Among the many species of free-living amoebae infecting humans, only Naegleria fowleri, a few species of Acanthamoeba, Balamuthia mandrillaris recently Sappinia diploïdea and Paravahlkampfia Francina are responsible for human diseases especially deadly ...

The maintenance of free-living amoebae by cryopreservation
The Korean Journal of Parasitology, 1992 We have successfully cryopreserved free-living amoebae in order to maintain them feasibly under the conditions in our laboratory. The viability of trophozoites was higher when frozen by slow cooling (overall 0.7 degree C/min) than by fast cooling (overall 1.3 degrees C/min).

Pathogenic free-living amoebae
The Korean Journal of Parasitology, 1990 Studies on pathogenic free-living amoebae performed in Korea were briefly reviewed. One strain of Naegleria fowleri was isolated from the sewage, and 3 strains of Acanthamoeba culbertsoni from a reservoir and the gill of fish. They were identified by morphological characteristics. Three strains among the 4 were experimentally proved pathogenic to cause

Spores of the Large Free-living Amoebae [PDF]
Nature, 1956 IN the course of some experiments on Amoebae suggested to me by Dr. P. Couillard of Brussels, I have discovered an easy method of procuring clean spores, newly hatching and developing specimens of the large free-living Amoebae (proteus, lescherae, discoides, kerrii).
