A debilitating #hoof disease affecting #elk herds across the Pacific Northwest appears to be driven not by a single #pathogen but by multiple #bacterial species working together

Multiple bacteria may be behind elk hoof disease

Treponeme-associated hoof disease (TAHD) in elk is driven by a polymicrobial community rather than a single pathogen

The influence of genotypic and paratypic factors on the intestinal microbiome of quails

<p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" class="first" dir="auto" id="d19752e86">The article discusses the features of the gastrointestinal tract microbiome of white Texas quails using various probiotic preparations and the relationship between immune genes and its biodiversity. The highest biodiversity was found in the quails of the first group, which were kept on the main feeding ration. Among the experimental groups, the highest biodiversity was demonstrated by the groups that were given the probiotics "Em-Kurunga" and "Yarosil" with water (0.6 ml/kg). Birds with all the studied immune genes have a higher biodiversity of microorganisms in the gastrointestinal tract. </p>

Was sent this photo today by an uni friend visiting our old campus.

10 years later and I *still* have the biggest thesis 🤣
