“…Free-living amoeba (FLAs) are single-cell ubiquitous protozoa, found in environments such as soil, air, fresh and saltwater, dust, as well as men-built devices such as air conditioning units and cooling towers ( Fonseca et al., 2020 ; Lee et al., 2020 ; Paknejad et al., 2020 ; Wopereis et al., 2020 ). The ubiquitous conditions of some FLAs, including Acanthamoeba spp., facilitate their access to susceptible hosts, making Acanthamoeba an opportunistic pathogen to humans and other mammals ( Marciano-Cabral and Cabral, 2003 ; Schuster and Visvesvara, 2004 ; Visvesvara et al., 2007 ; Ghadage et al., 2017 ; Liu et al., 2019 ).…”

“… 136 , 137 Environmental findings of B. mandrillaris were reported to be associated with Acanthamoeba populations in air conditioning systems of hospitals. 138 Across the globe, FLAs have been sampled in natural habitats related to water and soil 139 , 140 , 141 besides extreme environments such as treatment water plants, chlorinated swimming pools, hot spring water, and ice samples. 142 , 143 , 144 Global warming can favor the spreading of thermophilic pathogenic FLA 145 , 146 and intra-FLA pathogenic bacteria.…”

“…(175) On this concern, current Brazilian studies have used conserved regions of PCR amplified 18S rDNA to perform FLA identification. Regarding literature encountered between 2011 to 2020, mots of the FLA environmental and clinical investigations conducted a molecular based assay (127,141,143,150,(176)(177)(178)(179)(180)(181)(182) in contrast with few studies based on amoeba immunodetection tools. (183)(184) Classified as environmental isolated groups, the first one is dated from 1986 by pointing out N. fowleri presence in an artificial lake.…”
