Superspreaders have lower gut microbial alpha-diversity and distinct gut microbial composition in a natural rodent population

Klara M. Wanelik, Mike Begon, Janette E. Bradley, Jonathan Fenn, Joseph A. Jackson, Steve Paterson

The paper investigates the relationship between gut microbial diversity and superspreading in field voles, finding lower alpha-diversity and distinct microbial composition in higher-contacters and higher-shedders.
