Background Ruminant gut microbial communities influence host health, productivity, and methane emissions, yet viral communities across life stages remain uncharacterized. Whilst bacteriophages shape m...

“I’m currently a postdoctoral researcher here at the Quadram Institute. My day-to-day research is looking at bacteriophages, which are viruses that can infect and kill bacteria, and how they can be…

Phage cocktail designed for wastewater bioremediation is safe for freshwater filtrators. D. magna cultured with phages showed no significant changes in life-history parameters and minor shifts in the...

Human host-associated cellular products may act as induction agents for bacteriophages.

Cook et al. reveal bacteriophage diversity progressively declines with COPD severity. Frequent exacerbators uniquely show decoupled viral-bacterial relationships. Virulence-encoding phages associate w...

Ruminant gut microbial communities profoundly influence host health and environmental impacts, yet their viral components remain poorly characterised across developmental transitions. Here, we analyse...
