Microbial Community Structure and Composition is Associated With Host Species and Sex in Sigmodon Cotton Rats

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background: </bold>The cotton rat (genus <italic>Sigmodon</italic>) is an essential small animal model for the study of human infectious disease and viral therapeutic development. However, the impact of the host microbiome on infection outcomes has not been explored in this model, partly due to the lack of a comprehensive characterization of microbial communities across different...
