Drivers and consequences of host microbiome control
The epithelial surfaces of animals harbour symbiont communities that influence the health of their hosts, including defending against pathogens. Whilst microbiome effects on host biology have been extensively studied, much less is known about how hosts regulate their microbiomes to ensure that they are pThe epithelial surfaces of animals harbour symbiont communities that influence the health of their hosts, including defending against pathogens. Whilst microbiome effects on host biology have been extensively studied, much less is known about how hosts regulate their microbiomes to ensure that they are populated by beneficial rather than harmful symbionts.
