Feral Swine in the United States Have Been Exposed to both Avian and Swine Influenza A Viruses.

abstract：:Using scanning electron microscopy, we observed sucker-like structures on amoebae of 13 human isolates of Naegleria fowleri. The number of suckers per amoeba seemed to vary according to the virulence of the strain. We propose the term amoebastome to describe this unique sucker-like structure of N. fowleri. ...
