Pregnancy and Early-Life Gut Virome in the Lifelines NEXT cohort:Origin, Persistence, Influencing Factors and Health Implications

Asier Fernández-Pato, Anastasia A. Gulyaeva, Nataliia Kuzub…·Alexandra Zhernakova

The paper analyzes the gut virome in mother-infant pairs to identify factors influencing its development and persistence, finding that delivery mode and breastmilk shape the infant virome and that viral diversity is linked to food allergies.
