Naegleria fowleri is a deadly protist known for causing primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), a rare but often fatal brain infection. This free-living amoeba typically enters the body through the nasal passages when individuals swim in warm freshwater, such as lakes or hot springs. Once in the brain, it rapidly destroys brain tissue, leading to severe symptoms like headache, fever, and confusion. PAM is extremely rare, but the infection has a high mortality rate if not treated promptly.
A protist that uses flagella to move is called a flagellate. Flagella are whip-like structures that enable these single-celled organisms to swim in aqueous environments.
