What Is a Brain-Eating Amoeba?

Amoebas are single-celled organisms. The so-called brain-eating amoeba is a species discovered in 1965 and formally named Naegleria fowleri. Although first identified in Australia, now more rapidly spreading in Pakistan because of our Health policy and their minister or so called doctors.

There are several species of naegleria, but only the N. fowleri species causes human disease.

Like other amoebas, naegleria reproduce by cell division. When conditions are less than optimal, amoebas become inactive cysts. When conditions are favorable, the cysts turn into trophozoites — their feeding form. These trophozoites can also temporarily grow tails that allow them to swim. In this tailed form they cannot eat, so they soon revert to the trophozoite stage.

Where Are Brain-Eating Amoebas Found?

Naegleria love warm temperatures and are able to survive in water as hot as 113 degrees Fahrenheit.

These amoebas can be found in warm places around the globe. They are found in:

• Warm lakes, ponds, and rock pits
• Mud puddles
• Warm, slow-flowing rivers, especially those with low water levels
• Untreated swimming pools and spas
• Untreated well water or untreated municipal water
• Hot springs and other geothermal water sources
• Thermally polluted water, such as runoff from power plants
• Aquariums
• Soil, including indoor dust

Naegleria can’t live in salt water and cannot survive in properly treated swimming pools or in treated municipal water.

Most cases of N. fowleri disease occur in Sindh, specially n Karachi. However, this info reported after World health Organization (WHO) official said in Islamabad on Tuesday October 9, 2012. he said ” A brain-eating amoeba has killed at least 10 people in pakistan’s most populous city since May.

Conclusion: As you may know first identified in Australia and we’ve import a shipment of sick sheep from Asutralia. Now we can understand what we are doing with our country, we beleive in money and income. And for the money and profit we can anything.
