Fox News
A beach in Iowa was closed last week after officials confirmed an infection of Naegleria fowleri in a Missouri resident at the Lake of Three Fires State Park.
Testing to confirm the presence of the "brain-eating amoeba" is being conducted in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and could take several days to complete.
The department wrote that it is working closely with the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services and would share updates as test results become available.
