Combating resilient Acanthamoeba castellanii cysts: Ultrasonic frequency-dependent effects on viability and excystment

Ultrasonics Sonochemistry
Free-living amoebae (FLA) are significant environmental reservoirs for numerous pathogenic microorganisms. These protists exhibit remarkable resilience, often evading biocides due to their ability to form highly resistant dormant cysts under unfavorable ...

The role of plasma metagenomic sequencing in identification of Balamuthia mandrillaris encephalitis

Acta Neuropathologica Communications
Balamuthia mandrillaris is a rare, free-living amoeba (FLA) that causes granulomatous amoebic encephalitis, a disease with close to 90% mortality. The geographical ranges of many FLA are expanding, potentially increasing human exposure to B. mandrillaris.
