First insights into the microbiota within the oral cavity of the pygmy sperm whale (Kogia breviceps)
The number of environmental surveillance reports of the ocean ecosystem through systematic studies on marine mammal health and disease is increasing. Understanding host-microbe interactions in cetaceans may contribute to the identification of compromised populations, microbial markers of disease, and ultimately to scientifically base population ...
