Information Resources for Pathogens
We are compiling a list of informational resources regarding pathogens in Michigan and the Great Lakes. We will add to the list during the course of the Pathogen Workshop Series.
Topics:
Pathogen monitoring data from Michigan
Harmful Algal Blooms
Microbial Source Tracking
Other pathogen-related resources
