Abstract
Amoebioses include a range of diseases caused by
amoebae. Amoebae belong to a heterogeneous group of
protozoans common in water and soil. While amoebae
have been isolated from various organs of fish
with no clinical signs, they can be pathogenic and cause
amoebioses under particular conditions (Lom and
Dyková, 1992). Those amoebae are either endocommensals
or free-living before they become parasitic.
Amoebic infections can be difficult to diagnose
and, as a result, amoebic diseases have been most
likely under-reported. However, some amoebioses can
cause significant losses in the aquaculture industry
(Nowak et al., 2014).
