En raison des changements climatiques, le territoire du #Coccidioïde (#cocci), un dangereux champignon qui s'attaque aux poumons, s'agrandit. Le cocci se cache dans le sol et lorsque le vent soulève la poussière ou que des activités humaines remuent le sol (construction, terrassement, etc.), il peut y avoir infection par voie respiratoire.
Il n'existe pas, en ce moment, de traitement efficace contre la coccidioïdomycose. Le cocci résiste aux antifongiques.
Des chercheurs américains sont de plus en plus inquiets en raison de l'expansion d’un champignon très virulent. À cause des changements climatiques, les cas d’infection au Coccidioïde, aussi appelé « cocci », augmentent aux États-Unis et le champignon pourrait même remonter jusqu’au Canada.
Yesterday I diluted the jar 7:1 with more tap water. There are fewer bugs now, as expected. The jar is still cloudy but the cloudiness seems less yellow and more white.
Yesterday the cocci (sphere-shaped bacteria) were usually either singletons or pairs, but now they more often seem to come in straight lines of 4 or 8.
Also something new has appeared: tubes! The tubes are about 4x thicker than the cocci, and they have a dark spot at the front and back. I suspect the dark spots are just refraction artifacts, and the tubes are hollow like straws. All the tubes seem to be the same size. I almost wonder whether the cocci make them like shells.
