Shared and Distinct Features of Human Milk and Infant Stool Viromes. [PDF]
, 2018 Infants acquire many of their microbes from their mothers during the birth process. The acquisition of these microbes is believed to be critical in the development of the infant immune system.

Dynamic changes occur in the DNA gut virome of female cynomolgus macaques during aging
MicrobiologyOpen, 2021 Aging is a critical factor affecting physical health and disease in mammals. Emerging evidence indicates that aging may affect the gut bacteriome in cynomolgus macaques, but little is known about whether or how the gut virome changes with age.

Phages and human health: More than idle hitchhikers [PDF]
, 2019 Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that infect bacteria and archaea. Phages have diverse morphologies and can be coded in DNA or RNA and as single or double strands with a large range of genome sizes. With the increasing use of metagenomic sequencing

ΦCrAss001 represents the most abundant bacteriophage family in the human gut and infects Bacteroides intestinalis [PDF]
, 2018 peer-reviewedCrAssphages are an extensive and ubiquitous family of tailed bacteriophages, predicted to infect bacteria of the order Bacteroidales. Despite being found in ~50% of individuals and representing up to 90% of human gut viromes, members of this

Macrobiota — helminths as active participants and partners of the microbiota in host intestinal homeostasis [PDF]
, 2016 Important insights have recently been gained in our understanding of the intricate relationship in the intestinal milieu between the vertebrate host mucosal immune response, commensal bacteria, and helminths. Helminths are metazoan worms (macrobiota) and

Characteristics of the tree shrew gut virome
PLOS ONE, 2019 The tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri) has been proposed as an alternative laboratory animal to primates in biomedical research in recent years. However, characteristics of the tree shrew gut virome remain unclear. In this study, the metagenomic analysis method was used to identify the features of gut virome from fecal samples of this animal. Results showed

A Previously Undescribed Highly Prevalent Phage Identified in a Danish Enteric Virome Catalog
mSystems, 2021 Gut viruses are important, yet often neglected, players in the complex human gut microbial ecosystem. Recently, the number of human gut virome studies has been increasing; however, we are still only scratching the surface of the immense viral diversity ...

The human gut microbiota and virome: Potential therapeutic implications [PDF]
Digestive and Liver Disease, 2015 Human gut microbiota is a complex ecosystem with several functions integrated in the host organism (metabolic, immune, nutrients absorption, etc.). Human microbiota is composed by bacteria, yeasts, fungi and, last but not least, viruses, whose composition has not been completely described. According to previous evidence on pathogenic viruses, the human

Effects of Long Term Antibiotic Therapy on Human Oral and Fecal Viromes. [PDF]
, 2015 Viruses are integral members of the human microbiome. Many of the viruses comprising the human virome have been identified as bacteriophage, and little is known about how they respond to perturbations within the human ecosystem.
