Explore the microscopic world within us with PathoAtlas, an educational atlas of bacteria and viruses relevant to human health. FEATURES • Browse 48 bacterial and 23 viral profiles • Inspect interactive 3D teaching models with cutaway, surface, and separated-layer views • Explore organism summaries, replication context, clinical context, and linked sources • Compare world context, historical milestones, and carefully scoped health figures • Review condition-specific symptoms and their source notes • Save profiles to a private collection stored only on your device • Use the bundled atlas without an account; an internet connection is needed only for external source pages PathoAtlas is designed for curious learners, students, and educators. Profiles distinguish infection, disease, carriage, and beneficial or opportunistic roles where applicable. Statistics include their source, population, location, and period whenever available. The 3D specimens are simplified educational illustrations. Their colours, scales, layer thicknesses, and molecular arrangements are visual teaching conventions rather than microscopy reconstructions. PathoAtlas provides general educational information. It does not provide medical advice, diagnose infection, recommend treatment, or estimate your personal risk. Consult a qualified healthcare professional about personal health concerns.
