The gut microbiota has been strongly associated with Crohn’s disease (CD).1,2 However, this signature becomes blurred when the analysis is restricted to the gut viruses due to intrinsically high inter...

Interannual fluctuations in the abundance of young-of-the-year (YOY) European perch ( Perca fluviatilis ) were studied in two large French peri-alpine lakes. Using a 12-year dataset of late-summer hyd...

Phage-plasmids are temperate phages that replicate as plasmids during lysogeny. Despite their high diversity, they carry genes similar to phages and plasmids. This leads to gene exchanges, and to the ...

Identifying the ecological and evolutionary factors that shape phage–bacterial interactions is key to understanding their dynamics in microbial communities. Yet, such interactions remain poorly charac...

Phages are typically known for having a limited host range, targeting particular strains within a bacterial species, but accurately measuring their specificity remains challenging. Factors like the g...
