Sappinia diploidea Scientific classification Domain: Eukaryota Kingdom: Amoebozoa Phylum: Flabellinea Family: Thecamoebidae Genus: Sappinia Species: S. diploidea Binomial name Sappinia diploidea Sappinia diploidea is a free-living[1] amoeba species.[2]
Clinical significance
It is capable of causing infectious disease in humans[3][4][5]
Specifically, it can cause amebic encephalitis.[6][7]
