Infection by a eukaryotic gut parasite in wild Daphnia sp. associates with a distinct bacterial community
24 Aug 2022
Abstract excerpt
Host-associated bacterial communities play an important role in host fitness and resistance to diseases. Yet, few studies have investigated tripartite interaction between a host, parasite and host-associated bacterial communities in natural settings. Here, we use 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing to compare gut- and body- bacterial communities of wild water fleas belonging to the Daphnia longispina complex,...
