Resumo: The goal of this review is to compile information on the main aspects of free-living amoebae (FLA). For such articles deposited in PubMed, between the years 1947 to 2014 were consulted. FLA are protozoa widely distributed in the environment. Although not considered classic parasites, such as Trypanosoma cruzi, the FLA are responsible for opportunistic and non-opportunistic infections in humans and animals. Among all FLA, only three genera are able to infect humans and other animals, they are Balamuthia, Naegleria, and Acanthamoeba. Fortunately, FLA infections are extremely rare. Species of these genera are responsible for fatal infections, such as: i) Acanthamoeba causes granulomatous amoebiac encephalitis (GAE), in addition to causes keratitis skin, lung, and kidney infections ii) Balamuthia causes encephalitis infections similar to GAE; iii) Naegleria fowleri is the etiologic agent of primary amoebic menigoencephalitis (PAM).Keywords: Free-living amoebae; Balamuthia mandrillaris; Naegleria fowleri; Acanthamoeba spp.; amoebic encephalitis.

Para tal, foram consultados artigos depositados no PubMed, entre os anos de 1947 a 2014. As AVL são protozoários amplamente distribuídos no ambiente. Apesar de não serem considerados parasitos clássicos, tais como o Trypanosoma cruzi, as AVL são responsáveis por infecções oportunistas e não oportunistas em seres humanos e animais. Entre todas as AVL, apenas três gêneros são conhecidamente capazes de infectar o homem e outros animais, são eles Balamuthia, Naegleria e Acanthamoeba. Felizmente, as infecções por AVL são extremamente raras. Espécies desses gêneros são responsáveis por infecções fatais, tais como: i) Acanthamoeba causa a encefalite amebiana granulomatosa (EAG), além de causar ceratites e infecções de pele, rins e pulmões; ii) Balamuthia mandrillaris também provoca o mesmo tipo de encefalite; iii) Naegleria fowleri é o agente etiológico da meningoencefalite amebiana primária (MAP).Palavras-chave: Amebas de vida-livre; Balamuthia mandrillaris; Naegleria fowleri; Acanthamoeba spp.; encefalite amebiana.Universidade Federal do AmapáCalixto, Paulo Henrique MatayoshiTrindade, Fabio RodriguesBallarini, Arnaldo JoséDias, Cláudio Alberto Gellis de MattosCampos, Carlos Eduardo CostaSá-Oliveira, Júlio César2014-08-02info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unifap.br/index.php/biota/article/view/91710.18561/2179-5746/biotaamazonia.v4n2p124-129Biota Amazônia (Biote Amazonie, Biota Amazonia, Amazonian Biota); v. 4, n. 2 (2014); 124-1292179-5746reponame:Biota Amazôniainstname:Universidade Federal do Amapá (UNIFAP)instacron:UNIFAPporhttps://periodicos.unifap.br/index.php/biota/article/view/917/v4n2p124-129.pdfDireitos autorais 2014 Biota Amazônia (Biote Amazonie, Biota Amazonia, Amazonian Biota)http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2016-04-13T17:58:54Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/917Revistahttp://periodicos.unifap.br/index.php/biotaONGhttps://periodicos.unifap.br/index.php/biota/oai||juliosa@unifap.br2179-57462179-5746opendoar:2016-04-13T17:58:54Biota Amazônia - Universidade Federal do Amapá (UNIFAP)false
