Environmental factors affecting encystment of P.F.L.A. together with disinfection studies: a thesis is presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Microbiology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
, 1986 Free living amoebae from the genera Naegleria and Acanthamoeba have been implicated in fatal and several non-fatal infections of the human central nervous system, and other organs. They can be isolated from a worldwide range of environments.

Rare Infectious Diseases: Detection and Clinical Implications
iLABMED, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 148-157, June 2025.Rare infectious diseases are infections that are uncommon, have a low incidence, and are caused by newly emerging pathogens, cross‐species or ectopic infections, or host immunodeficiencies. The detection and diagnosis of rare infections is one of the main reasons for misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.

The Mechanisms of Codon Reassignments in Mitochondrial Genetic Codes [PDF]
, 2007 Many cases of non-standard genetic codes are known in mitochondrial genomes. We carry out analysis of phylogeny and codon usage of organisms for which the complete mitochondrial genome is available, and we determine the most likely mechanism for codon ...

18S rRNA Metagenomic Analysis of Nodular Gill Disease in Swiss Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 48, Issue 3, March 2025.ABSTRACT Nodular gill disease (NGD) is a serious proliferative gill condition that affects farmed salmonids, particularly in Europe. While the cause of NGD remains unknown (and maybe multifactorial), various amoebae are often isolated from the gills of affected fish and can in some cases be seen associated with lesions by histopathology.
