Determinants of microbiome composition: Insights from free‐ranging hybrid zebras (Equus quagga × grevyi)

Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 11, June 2024.
Abstract The composition of mammalian gut microbiomes is highly conserved within species, yet the mechanisms by which microbiome composition is transmitted and maintained within lineages of wild animals remain unclear. Mutually compatible hypotheses exist, including that microbiome fidelity results from inherited dietary habits, shared environmental ...

Noma affected children from Niger have distinct oral microbial communities based on high-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA gene fragments.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014
We aim to understand the microbial ecology of noma (cancrum oris), a devastating ancient illness which causes severe facial disfigurement in>140,000 malnourished children every year. The cause of noma is still elusive.

Experimental Demonstration of Reservoir Competence of the White-Footed Mouse, Peromyscus leucopus (Rodentia: Cricetidae), for the Lyme Disease Spirochete, Borrelia mayonii (Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae) [PDF]

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2019
Abstract The white-footed mouse, Peromyscus leucopus (Rafinesque), is a reservoir for the Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto in the eastern half of the United States, where the blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis Say (Acari: Ixodidae), is the primary vector.

Geographical distribution and species variation of gut microbiota in small rodents from the agro‐pastoral transition ecotone in northern China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2024.
This study explored the gut microbiota of four rodent species in northern China and found that microbial composition was more influenced by geographic location than host species, highlighting the pivotal role of the local environment in shaping gut microbiota.

Bacterial symbionts of the precious coral Corallium rubrum are differentially distributed across colony‐specific compartments and differ among colormorphs [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
The distribution and functions of the symbiotic microbes of the precious coral Corallium rubrum are unknown. We optimised coral dissection protocols by using RNAlater, and employed 16S rRNA metabarcoding to characterise the microbiota in different compartments (polyps, coenenchyme, skeleton) and in three colormorphs (red, pink, white).

Effects of squamous cell carcinoma and smoking status on oropharyngeal and laryngeal microbial communities

Head &Neck, Volume 46, Issue 1, Page 145-160, January 2024.
Abstract Background Still, little is known about microbial dysbiosis in oropharyngeal and laryngeal tissue as risk factor for development of local squamous cell carcinoma. The site‐specific microbiota at these regions in healthy and cancer tissue and their modulation by environmental factors need to be defined.

Lyme Disease Risk of Exposure to Blacklegged Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) Infected with Borrelia burgdorferi (Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae) in Pittsburgh Regional Parks

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2019
AbstractLyme disease is the most commonly reported vector-borne illness and sixth most commonly reported notifiable infectious disease in the United States. The majority of cases occur in the Northeast and upper-Midwest, and the number and geographic distribution of cases is steadily increasing.

Tetracycline Resistance Genes in Treponema spp.- an Analysis of 4355 Spirochaetales Genomes

Background: The resurgence of syphilis, primarily in MSM populations, has necessitated novel prophylactic strategies, such as the use of doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis (doxy-PEP). However, the potential for increased doxycycline use to select for tetracycline resistance represents significant challenges in managing this sexually transmitted ...

Biodiversitas Journal of Biological Diversity
Abstract. Sophia HF, Supriyono, Soviana S, Novianto D, Hadi UK. 2023. Molecular detection of Borrelia spp. (Spirochaetales: Borreliaceae) in ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) collected from tortoises in Java, Indonesia. Biodiveritas 24: 6852-6857. Reptiles are known hosts of various tick species, many of which are zoonotic and pose veterinary and public health ...
