What are the host cells for naegleria fowleri?

Naegleria fowleri primarily infects human brain cells, specifically targeting the central nervous system. It usually enters the body through the nasal passages when contaminated water is inhaled, leading to a rare but devastating brain infection known as primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM). The amoeba can also affect other types of cells in the nasal mucosa before migrating to the brain.
