MICROBES

Some microbes cause millions of deaths to humans and animals microbes are called germs by many people.

Not all microbes are bad some are useful and some you could not live without.

Doctors call microbes that cause disease pathogens.

Some symptoms of pathogens are fever,pain,nausea,tiredness,rashes and inflammation.

FOUR MAIN MICROSCOPIC PATHOGENS

• Bacteria
• Viruses
• Protozoa
• Fungi

Bacteria are tiny organisms made of a single cell.

Many bacteria are good for us.

We use some bacteria to make cheese and yogurt.

DISEASES CAUSED BY BACTERIA

• Tetanus
• Pneumonia
• Cholera
• Tuberculosis
• Strep throat

Once a virus enters a cell it takes over.

An invasion by a virus can leave the body weak and diseased.

More common viruses can cause mumps,measles,rabies,AIDS, polio and some cancer.

Protozoa likes to live where there is a lot of moisture.

The most dangerous thing Protozoa can cause is malaria it comes from mosquitos.

Fungi are parasites that live on the outside of human skin fungi can cause ringworm and athletes foot.

And all the microbes lived happily ever after I think
The end!
