Key Points

To synthesize recent therapeutic advancements, diagnostic innovations, and cutting-edge computational approaches for managing fatal infections caused by pathogenic free-living amoebae.
Reviewed literature published over the past decade identified via PubMed and Google Scholar on pathogenic free-living amoebae.
Evaluated emerging therapies including novel antiamoebic agents, drug repurposing, high-throughput screening, artificial intelligence discovery, and nanotechnology-based delivery platforms.
Documented that central nervous system and ocular infections from amoebae remain associated with high mortality rates due to delayed diagnosis and poor blood-brain barrier drug penetration.
Identified AI-assisted screening, predictive modeling, and nanotechnology-enabled drug delivery systems as the most promising strategies to bypass pharmacokinetic barriers and accelerate targeted antiamoebic therapies.
