Neglected Microbiota: The Mycobiome and Virome in African Populations

2026-08-26

Abstract excerpt

As in many areas of science, microbiome research is rarely purely curiosity-driven as funding structures, historical inequities, and global scientific trends often shape which questions are tested and which go unexamined. In African contexts, this can result in misalignment between local health challenges and global directions of microbiome research, contributing to the persistence of helicopter science. Through a...
