Paramoebiasis is a disease caused by species of Paramoeba and Neoparamoeba, amoebas that parasitically target various biological systems of lobsters, sea urchins, crabs, salmon, and other marine life. In fish, it is caused by Neoparamoeba perurans, which targets the respiratory system, and is usually referred to as amoebic gill disease. Multiple outbreaks of the disease have been attributed to various species across the genera Paramoeba and Neoparamoeba, and species of both genera have been inconsistently taxonomized as a result of different approaches to classification.
