Dear Student

Microorganisms are also very harmful to us. They cause a number of diseases inhuman as well as in other animals. Common cold, Tuberculosis, Measles, Chicken Pox, Polio, Cholera, Typhoid, Hepatitis B, Malaria, are some common human diseases caused by microorganisms. Anthrax is a serious disease in animals caused by microbes. They also make food items unfit for use by food poisoning. They also spoil clothes and leather products. They also cause diseases in plants like blights in potatoes, sugarcanes, oranges etc. They also reduce the crop production.

Thanks
