Balamuthia mandrillaris
''Balamuthia mandrillaris'' is a free-living amoeba that is known to cause the deadly neurological condition known as granulomatous amoebic encephalitis (GAE).〔http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3026932/Mother-reveals-horror-losing-newlywed-young-daughter-BRAIN-EATING-AMOEBA-contracted-family-vacation.html〕 ''B. mandrillaris'' is found in the environment and was first discovered in 1986 in the brain of a baboon that died in the San Diego Wild Animal Park. ''B. mandrillaris'' can infect the body through skin wounds or by inhaling the dust containing ''Balamuthia''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cdc.gov/Features/organsafety/ )〕 ''Balamuthia'' has not been definitively isolated in nature, but it is believed to be distributed throughout the temperate regions of the world. This is supported somewhat by the presence of antibodies to ''Balamuthia'' present in healthy individuals. The Balamuthia genus is named in honor of the late parasitologist William Balamuth (1914–1981) for his contributions to the studies of parasitic and free-living amoebas.
==Morphology==
''Balamuthia mandrillaris'' is a free-living, heterotrophic amoeba, consisting of a standard complement of organelles surrounded by a three-layered cell wall, and with an abnormally large cell nucleus. On average, a ''Balamuthia'' trophozoite is approximately 30 to 120 micrometres in diameter. The cysts fall approximately in this range as well.
