Neoparamoeba pemaquidensis is a single-celled species of marine amoebozoan in the genus Neoparamoeba. The species is also called Paramoeba pemaquidensis.[1]
Its closely related sister species, Neoparamoeba perurans, is the agent of amoebic gill disease, which affects Atlantic salmon and other farmed fishes.[2]
