HOW ONE CAN GET INFECTED?
• In general in fresh water breathing, including 
lakes and streams, the naegleria fowleri is 
found. 
• If a human is contaminated, usually because 
of swimming or diving in infected waters, a 
very rare occurrence, a single adaptable cell 
travels from the nose into the mind.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN?

which is all about deadly, called essential 
amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM).

HOW THIS DISEASE OCCUR?
• Diseases occur as a person's nose grows in 
weakened water, causing the creature to 
reach the brain through the olfactory nerves 
and deceit of the mental tissue. 
• The CDC claims that gulping water is not 
going to cause sickness.

PRESENCE OF THE DISEASE
• It is likely that global warming temperatures 
will impact geography of species in warm 
waters to an extent of 113 degrees 
Fahrenheit (45 degrees Celsius), said the 
researchers.

EMERGING INFECTIOUS DISEASES

INVESTIGATION
• Example, swimming in lakes, waterways, or 
stores from 1978 to 2018. They recognized 
an aggregate of 85 instances of N. fowleri 
that met their standards for the investigation 
(for example cases that were attached to 
recreational water presentation and included 
area information.)

STABLE CASES
• The number of annual cases reported was 
actually stable and ranged from zero to six 
annually. 
• Most incidents, 74 in South States occurred; 
six in the midwest, including Minnesota, 
Kansas, and Indiana, were also accounted for. 
• The study said five of these six cases 
occurred after 2010.

REPORT IN THE LAST 10 YEARS
• The uplifting news: in the last ten years, 
according to CDC information, 34 infections 
have been announced in the US.
• In an analysis of CDC details between 1978 
and 2018, new cases were investigated at 
about 8.2 miles northwards every year.
