Athlete's foot, caused by the fungus Trichophyton, primarily affects humans by infecting the skin on the feet. While it does not damage other organisms directly, the fungus can potentially spread to other parts of the body or to other individuals. It thrives in warm, moist environments and can also infect other animals, but it primarily poses a risk to human health. Overall, its impact is largely confined to human hosts.
