The earliest mention of an amoeba, causing disease in reptiles, was by Ratcliffe and Geiman (1933), when they discovered that acute intestinal disease in certain lizards and snakes was associated with an amoeba, which they designated Endamoeba sp. Ratcliffe and Geiman isolated the organism in cultures and later they reported experimental infection of water snakes of the genus Natrix with cysts of the amoeba obtained from their cultures (Ratcliffe and Geiman 1934a).
