Abstract
Introduction: Naegleria fowleri, a pathogenic amoeba found on all continents except Antarctica. It causes are Primary Amoebic Meningoencephalitis (PAM) with 95% fatality rate, predominantly affecting healthy people from all age group. Research on Naegleria's biology and behavior intensified the efforts which helps to develop prevention and treatment strategies. Objectives: To investigate the mechanisms of humoral and innate immunity with molecular characters in arguing for Naegleria fowleri infections in gut microbiota and explore their potential benefits for therapeutic development.
Materials and Methods: Different data bases were used to collect the data for article in systematics pattern. The globally epidemiologically surgery was performed to analyze the risk factor, death rate and consequence of viral load in community especially in gut disease and corresponding infections.
Results: Risk factors which also add the water resources and cultural practice are expressing the main cause of disease spreading the defense mechanism of the human body against viral load involves the participation of both humoral and innate immunity intimate with gut bacterial colonization. The humoral immunity is responsible for producing antibodies target and neutralize pathogenic organism. The innate immunity provides a rapid response to viral infections through the activation of various cells and molecules. This collaboration between the humoral and innate immunity ensures a comprehensive defense against viral load in gut microbiota. The social collaboration among different communities is found an effective agenda to reduce the risk of disease and death rate as well by developing gut infection.
Conclusion: To conclude, the Naegleria Fowleri infections highlights the pressing need for continued vigilance, collaboration and innovation to combat this rare yet lethal disease. Further immunity role and health precaution are necessary element to reduce the effects.
