Naegleria is an amoebic parasite and the disease it causes is PAM (Primary Amebic Meningoencephalitis). Naegleria fowleri is a deadly ameoba that is found in warm water. It usually enters the body through the nose before making its way to the brain, thereby causing meningoencephalitis. It lives in freshwater lakes, natural warm water springs, or streams. Although rare, the disease is often fatal.
