Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Protists like green algae, for example, Cladophora act as a host for microbiomes. Cladophora grows in fresh water and marine shore. These algae provide a habitat for many bacterial, fungal and protists species.

Intestines of people and animals- lives in raw eggs poultry,and meat
Borrelia burgdorferi-bacterium that causes Lyme disease
Lives in deer ticks
Group A Streptococcus- bacterium that causes '' strep'' infections
Lives in the mucus from the nose or throat of an infected person
Giardia- protozoan that causes giardiasis
Lives in feces of infected people and animals. Spread by contact with contaminnated water.
Rabies virus
Lives in the saliva of infected animals.Spread when an infected animal bites another animal or person.

But being outdoors in the sunshine and fresh air is not without risk. In June 2012, a camp counselor in Omaha, Nebraska, was diagnosed with histoplasmosis, a fungal infection with symptoms similar to pneumonia: fever, headache, and respiratory distress. Although most people suffering from histoplasmosis will recover without medical treatment, the very young, very old, and people with chronic lung conditions are at greater risk for developing severe disease, which may on rare occasions prove fatal. In areas of the eastern and central United States, where Histoplasma capsulatum is endemic, dirt contaminated with bird and bat guano often contains spores of the fungus. Disturbing such contaminated dirt is a known risk factor for developing the disease. Because the sick camp counselor was one of 32 that worked at the camp, and the camp served 797 children, the Douglas County Department of Health (DCDH) and the…arrow_forwardAccording to the article, which type of microbes thrive in dirty/wet environments?
