Invasive Fascioloides magna infections impact gut microbiota in a definitive host in Europe
Fleischer, Ramona; Velling, Marc; Peters, Wibke Erika Brigitta; Peterka, Tomáš; Franke, Frederik; Vymyslická, Pavla Jůnková; Rehbein, Steffen; Heurich, Marco Dietmar; Sommer, Simone (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Invasive parasites that expand their natural range can be a threat to wildlife biodiversity and may pose a health risk to non-adapted, naive host species. The invasive giant liver fluke, Fascioloides magna, native to North ... -
Phylogeny-and abundance-based metrics allow for the consistent comparison of core gut microbiome diversity indices across host species
Sommer, Simone; Sommer, Wasmuddin; Tsjapka, Marco; Manser, Marta B.; Menke, Sebastian; Heni, Alexander C.; Brändel, Stefan; Béchet, Arnaud; Gillingham, Mark A. F.; Ricely, Ailce; Heurich, Marco (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The filtering of gut microbial datasets to retain high prevalence taxa is often performed to identify a common core gut microbiome that may be important for host biological functions. However, prevalence thresholds used ... -
A taste of wilderness: supplementary feeding of red deer (Cervus elaphus) increases individual bacterial microbiota diversity but lowers abundance of important gut symbionts
Víquez-R, Luis; Henrich, Maik; Riegel, Vanessa; Bader, Marvin; Wilhelm, Kerstin; Heurich, Marco Dietmar; Sommer, Simone (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The gut microbiome plays a crucial role in the health and well-being of animals. It is especially critical for ruminants that depend on this bacterial community for digesting their food. In this study, we investigated the ...
