A cross-species meta-transcriptomic analysis of viral infection-induced shifts in microbial transcript profiles across insects.
Microbiome has co-evolved with insects over millions of years, establishing symbiotic relationships that influence their fitness and shape evolutionary trajectories. These long-term associations are shaped by the hosts ecology, diet, and physiology which determines microbial diversity. In turn, external stresses such as pathogenic infections can adversely affect the host microbiome, further…
