Faecal microbiome varies with social group, age and bovine tuberculosis infection in the European Badger (Meles meles)

2025-06-17

Abstract excerpt

Host-associated microbes are key components of animal health and physiology, with particular importance for determining responses to pathogen infection. The gut microbiota is highly variable at the individual level, being shaped by a multitude of factors including diet, social behaviour, and age. Yet the relative influence of these traits on microbiota composition, and the consequences of this variation for host r...
