Abstract excerpt
The kakapo is a critically endangered flightless parrot which suffers from exudative cloacitis, a debilitating disease resulting in inflammation of the vent margin or cloaca. Despite this disease emerging over 20 years ago, the cause of exudative cloacitis remains elusive. We used total RNA sequencing and metatranscriptomic analysis to characterise the infectome of lesions and cloacal swabs from nine kakapo affect...
