Host Matters: Medicinal Leech Digestive-Tract Symbionts and Their Pathogenic Potential

13 Oct 2016

Abstract excerpt

Digestive-tract microbiota exert tremendous influence over host health. Host-symbiont model systems are studied to investigate how symbioses are initiated and maintained, as well as to identify host processes affected by resident microbiota. The medicinal leech, Hirudo verbana, is an excellent model to address such questions owing to a microbiome that is consistently dominanted by two species, Aeromonas veronii...
