Screen the unforeseen: Microbiome-profiling for detection of zoonotic pathogens in wild rats Transbound. Emerg. Dis. (IF 4.3) Pub Date : 2022-11-20 Marieke de Cock, Manoj Fonville, Ankje de Vries, Alex Bossers, Bartholomeus van den Bogert, Renate Hakze-van der Honing, Ad Koets, Hein Sprong, Wim van der Poel, Miriam Maas
Wild rats can host various zoonotic pathogens. Detection of these pathogens is commonly performed using molecular techniques targeting one or a few specific pathogens. However, this specific way of surveillance could lead to (emerging) zoonotic pathogens staying unnoticed. This problem may be overcome by using broader microbiome-profiling techniques, which enable broad screening of a sample's bacterial
