| title | The oral and skin microbiomes of captive Komodo Dragons are significantly shared with their habitat. |
| description | Here we collect saliva, skin, and fecal samples from captive Komodo dragons (V. komodoensis) and other captive varanids (V. olivaceus, V. indicus, V. rudicollis) in the first-ever culture-independent assessment of the varanid microbiome. Environmental samples were also collected to characterize host-environment microbiome sharing. This study adds crucial information to our understanding of captive Komodo dragon microbial ecology. |
