Alpha-synuclein alters the faecal viromes of rats in a gut-initiated model of Parkinson’s disease
Stockdale et al. assess longitudinal faecal virome changes in a rat model of Parkinson’s Disease (PD) in which either monomeric or preformed fibrils (PFF) of α-synuclein were administered directly into their enteric nervous system.

The role of bacteria in pine wilt disease: insights from microbiome analysis. [PDF]
Pine Wilt Disease (PWD) has a significant impact on Eurasia pine forests. The microbiome of the nematode (the primary cause of the disease), its insect vector, and the host tree may be relevant for the disease mechanism.

SaQuant: a real-time PCR assay for quantitative assessment of Staphylococcus aureus
Background Molecular assays are important tools for pathogen detection but need to be periodically re-evaluated with the discovery of additional genetic diversity that may cause assays to exclude target taxa or include non-target taxa.
