Microbiomes are communities of microorganisms living on or in animals, helping to keep them healthy. Changes in the composition of\u00a0microbiomes<\/a>\u00a0could make wildlife more vulnerable to diseases which may be zoonotic \u2013 transmissible to humans \u2013 so monitoring them could help us to predict outbreaks of disease and protect global health. Dr Andrew Bartlow and colleagues at the\u00a0Los Alamos National Laboratory<\/a>, New Mexico, USA, have been studying screech owl microbiomes, analysing microbial DNA to further our understanding of the largely unexplored world of\u00a0wildlife<\/a>\u00a0microbiomes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microbiomes are communities of tiny organisms, collectively known as microbiota. They are invisible to the human eye, living on and in all of us: layers of bacteria, viruses, and fungi covering our skin, gut, and every part of us. These \u2018friendly\u2019 microorganisms act as our body\u2019s first line of defence, helping keep us healthy by preventing their destructive counterparts from invading, as well as assisting with all sorts of different bodily processes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
