Pathogen priming reveals host immune training and microbiome conditioning in corals

Matteo Monti, Neus Garcías-Bonet, Francisca C García, Érika P. Santoro, Ghaida M. Aljuaid, Kevin Schuster, Chakkiath Paul Antony, Marco Casartelli, Laura Beenham, Aurora Giorgi, Luigi Colin, Christian Robert Voolstra, Raquel Silva Peixoto
