Your question is confusing. Leprosy is the condition or disease caused by two bacteria, Mycobacterium leprae or Mycobacterium lepromatosis. These two microorgansims are obviously microscopic. Size is of little issue.
Bacteria come in many shapes and sizes, and they can cause a lot of many diseases and colds. It depends in the severity of the bacteria, how many bacteria there are, and what kind of bacteria they are. Bacteria can cause from salmonella to the simple cold. Ecoli, a type of bacteria found in untreated water, can cause you to be throwing up for months at a time.
No, iguanas do not cause leprosy. Leprosy, also known as Hansen's disease, is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium leprae, which primarily affects humans. While iguanas can carry certain bacteria and parasites, there is no evidence linking them to the transmission of leprosy.
Mycobacterium is a broad group of bacteria that cause diseases such as tuberculosis and leprosy.
Tuberculosis and leprosy are two diseases caused by acid fast bacteria.
