Kerala health authorities confirmed amoeba in a Thamarassery well after a 9-year-old girl died of amoebic encephalitis. This marks Kozhikode’s fourth suspected case in 2025. Despite the disease’s 97% global fatality rate, Kerala reduced it to 25% through early detection. The state launched diagnostic kits, a “One Health” protocol, and public guidelines to combat freshwater-linked infections.
