日本でも報告 エボラ出血熱よりも致死率が高い「脳を食べるアメーバ」・旅行の際には淡水に注意【医者が解説】

It also touches on other amoebas (Balamutia, Acanthamoeba, and Entamoeba histolytica). Entamoeba histolytica is particularly prevalent, making it a potential infection that anyone can contract while traveling. ■Subscribe to my channel:    / @yasukawa   ▪︎Twitter account   / kosuke_yasukawa   [Kosuke Yasukawa Profile] Graduated from Keio University School of Medicine.
