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.

What is deadly protist called maegleria that can cause meningites?

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.
