The main source of entry is Water and Wet soiled areas, Water source like ponds, reservoirs, heaters, hot showers and even Air Condition (A/C) ducts,
Wet soiled areas like house corners wet soils etc...
It never identified in dry areas.
It enter into body by inhalation and goes to Alviole and starts lt's life cycle. the life cycle takes 2-10 days depends upon persons immune system,
it never transfers from person to person.
Thanks
