History of Pathogens in Athletics
Multiple infectious disease outbreaks in wrestling– Bacteria – Fungus – Viruses
Reported by outbreaks – Most disease transmissions during athletics are not reported
Football and Wrestling most commonly associated with disease transmission in athletics
High School Wrestling had one of the first documented deaths caused by MRSA
