Acanthamoeba polyphaga is a species of protozoa that exists as a free-living amoeba in the environment and is a facultative parasite of humans. The name is derived from the Greek word acantha (meaning spike or thorn), and amoeba (meaning change) to describe the organism's morphological spine-like structure (known as an acanthopodia). A. polyphaga has two stages in its life cycle: a trophozoite (active) stage and a cyst (dormant) stage.
