Early-life disruption of amphibian microbiota decreases later-life resistance to parasites

Early-life microbiota alterations can affect infection susceptibility later in life, in animal models. We showed that manipulating the microbiota of tadpoles leads to increased susceptibility to parasitic infection in adult frogs, in the absence of substantial changes in the adults’ microbiota.

动物模型研究显示，生命早期的微生物群（microbiota）改变可影响个体后续生命阶段的感染易感性。本研究证实，在成年青蛙自身微生物群未发生显著变化的前提下，调控蝌蚪的微生物群会使其成年后对寄生虫感染的易感性升高。本数据集包含分析所用的实验数据。
