Sappinia infection is an uncommon but fatal infection of the brain’s central nervous system brought on by free-living amoebae prevalent in aquatic bodies of water like rivers and lakes. A single-celled biological creature known as an ameba that lives unrestrained in the environment is identified as Sappinia.
The two organisms of Sappinia that are recognized are Sappinia pedata and Sappinia diploidea. The sappinia infection may survive at greater temperatures for brief periods and thrives fastest at extremely high temperatures up to 115°F.
