Article Synopsis
- The mammalian gut hosts a variety of microorganisms, including beneficial ones (commensals) and harmful ones (pathogens), which can positively or negatively affect the host's health.
- This study focuses on the relationship between specific parasites (helminths and coccidia) and the gut microbiota in wild wood mice over three years, using both invasive and non-invasive methods to gather data.
- Findings indicate that while the overall composition of gut microbiota isn't directly influenced by common parasites, microbiota diversity is affected in specific ways, suggesting a complex relationship that warrants further research to understand how these interactions work.
