Ubiquitous nature of microbes
Define the word ubiquitous, and provide examples showing why this is an appropriate term to use when describing microbes.
You are a researcher researching Zika virus, a mosquito-borne pathogen. The number of cases of Zika have skyrocketed over the past few months and the weather service has recorded the data showing that this summer has been the wettest in the past 50 years. Using the scientific method, develop a sound hypothesis explaining the increase in disease cases and a method for testing this hypothesis.
