Pouch microbiome changes during lactation in the short-beaked echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus)

2024-02-29

Abstract excerpt

Monotreme and marsupial early development is characterised by a short gestation, the birth of the young at an early stage of development, and a long lactation in the pouch or pseudo-pouch. The lack of a functional adaptive immune system in these altricial young raises questions about how they survive in a microbe-rich world. Previous studies on marsupial pouches have revealed changes to pouch microbe composition d...
