Legionellales-infected water is a frequent cause of local outbreaks of Legionnaires’ disease and Pontiac fever. Decontaminations are difficult because Legionellales reproduce in eukaryotic microorganisms (protists).

The maintenance of free-living amoebae by cryopreservation
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).

Free-living amoebae isolated in the Central African Republic: epidemiological and molecular aspects
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 ...

Pathogenic free-living amoebae
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]
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).

Pathogenic Free-Living Amoebae in Arkansas Recreational Waters [PDF]
Selected recreational waters of Arkansas were sampled for pathogenic free-living limax amoebae. Water quality parameters were determined for correlation with amoebic population densities and species diversity.
