Anthropogenic interferences lead to gut microbiome dysbiosis in Asian elephants and may alter adaptation processes to surrounding environments

Scientific Reports, 2021
Human activities interfere with wild animals and lead to the loss of many animal populations. Therefore, efforts have been made to understand how wildlife can rebound from anthropogenic disturbances.

Behçet's Disease Under Microbiotic Surveillance? A Combined Analysis of Two Cohorts of Behçet's Disease Patients

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Background: In Behçet's disease (BD), an auto-inflammatory vasculitis, an unbalanced gut microbiota can contribute to pro-inflammatory reactions. In separate studies, distinct pro- and anti-inflammatory bacteria associated with BD have been identified ...

An Update of Knowledge of the Bacterial Assemblages Associated with the Mexican Caribbean Corals Acropora palmata, Orbicella faveolata, and Porites porites

Diversity, 2023
In this study, the bacterial microbiota associated with apparently healthy corals of Acropora palmata, Orbicella faveolata, and Porites porites and the surrounding seawater and sediment were evaluated via the MiSeq Illumina sequencing of the V4 region of

Regional and oyster microenvironmental scale heterogeneity in the Pacific oyster bacterial community. [PDF]

, 2020
Different organs of a host represent distinct microenvironments resulting in the establishment of multiple discrete bacterial communities within a host. These discrete bacterial communities can also vary according to geographical location.

Prevalence Rates ofBorrelia burgdorferi(Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae),Anaplasma phagocytophilum(Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae), andBabesia microti(Piroplasmida: Babesiidae) in Host-SeekingIxodes scapularis(Acari: Ixodidae) from Pennsylvania [PDF]

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2015
AbstractThe etiological agents responsible for Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi), human granulocytic anaplasmosis (Anaplasma phagocytophilum), and babesiosis (Babesia microti) are primarily transmitted by the blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularisSay. Despite Pennsylvania having in recent years reported the highest number of Lyme disease cases in the ...

Host-microbe symbiosis and coevolution in coral reef invertebrates [PDF]

, 2022
Paul O'Brien used the topic of coevolution to study the microbiome of coral reef invertebrates. He found that a) the evolutionary history of the host is reflected in the microbiome, b) a subset of microbial species display strong patterns of cophylogeny,

Combined Stochastic and Deterministic Processes Drive Community Assembly of Anaerobic Microbiomes During Granule Flotation

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Advances in null-model approaches have resulted in a deeper understanding of community assembly mechanisms for a variety of complex microbiomes. One under-explored application is assembly of communities from the built-environment, especially during ...
