News Resources on Microbes

Hello:

As many of you know, I do a lot of reading. I’m also coming across a lot of interesting articles on a daily basis in the news. I’m becoming concerned because there are microbe stories happening all over the world that people don’t know about. Outbreaks in cities, countries, you name it. Below is a perfect example that was recently published reported by CNN:

Deadly amoeba lurks in Florida lakes

I think people need to be kept abreast about infectious microbes and perhaps we could open it here with things like the above. We’ll also keep up with other information and answer questions on this forum too for those who are doing their research. Perhaps we could do something to make a distinction because everyone may not be interested in reading news stories. Please free to post current news events, as such.
