Helen [10]

Answer:

soil; rice

Explanation:

Bacillus cereus is naturally found in the soil. B. cereus is known to contaminate rice, which, if undercooked and ingested, can lead to gastroenteritis. In this example, the reservoir for B. cereus is the soil, and the source of infection is the rice.

A reservoir refers to the breeding ground or natural habitat of micro living organisms such as bacterias, fungi, worms, etc. Thus, a reservoir hosts or harbours pathogens and usually serves as a source of infection to other living organisms.

On the other hand, a source of infection refers to a contaminated material from which a disease can be acquired by another living organism.
