Commensal protists in reptiles display flexible host range and adaptation to ectothermic hosts

2023-05-25

Abstract excerpt

Parabasalid protists recently emerged as keystone members of the mammalian microbiota with important effects on their host’s health. However, the prevalence and diversity of parabasalids in wild reptiles and the consequences of captivity and other environmental factors on these symbiotic protists are unknown. Reptiles are ectothermic, and their microbiomes are subject to temperature fluctuations, such as those dri...
