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).
