Acanthamoeba, a free-living ameba, can cause encephalitis and disseminated disease that are nearly always fatal. Immunocompromised persons are at highest risk for these infections

Most Naegleria fowleri infections are life-threatening and associated with swimming or diving in fresh water, such as a lake.
Genomic analysis and wastewater testing can complement traditional case-based surveillance to identify and better characterize HAV outbreaks.
Between September and December 2024, four countries in the EU/EEA (Finland, Germany, Poland, Spain) and the United Kingdom reported detections of circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2 (cVDPV2) in sewage samples. This is the first time cVDPV2 has been detected in EU/EEA countries from environmental surveillance.

Naeglerivirus infection was lethal to all Naegleria species tested, including the human pathogen N. fowleri. This study expands our experimental framework for investigating giant viruses and may help to better understand the basic biology of the human pathogen N. fowleri.
Kunz JM, Lawinger H, Miko S, et al.
the report presents outbreak-contributing factors (i.e., practices and factors that lead to outbreaks) and, for the first time, categorizes outbreaks as biofilm pathogen or enteric illness associated.
CDC’s National Wastewater Surveillance System (NWSS) program collects and displays wastewater data from communities across the United States.

The authors used surveillance data from the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS; https://www.cdc.gov/nndss) to identify weekly cases of cryptosporidiosis, giardiasis, Legionnaires’ disease, Escherichia coli infections, salmonellosis, and shigellosis during 1996–2018 for each US state.
