The amphibian microbiome: natural range of variation, pathogenic dysbiosis, and role in conservation

2017-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Recent research in humans, livestock, and wildlife using high-throughput next-generation sequencing (NGS) has identified that resident microbiota play an essential role in disease resistance, host health, and adaptation to biotic and abiotic stressors. Since amphibians are currently facing population declines and extinctions attributable to anthropogenic pressures and emerging diseases, an understanding of the eff...
