Microorganisms in wild European reptiles: bridging gaps in neglected conditions to inform disease ecology research by Matteo Riccardo Di Nicola, Selene Rubiola, Anna Cerullo, Andrea Basciu, Claudia Massone, Thomas Zabbia, Jean Lou CM Dorne, Pier Luigi Acutis, Daniele Marini

“…Molecular diagnostics have increasingly supplanted traditional microscopy, yet crucial tools such as culture-based methods and serology remain underutilised, limiting certain aspects of microorganism and disease characterisation.Bipartite host-microorganism network analysis revealed a specialised, modular structure promoted by specific microbial communities within particular hosts, themselves influenced by potential co-evolutionary dynamics or uneven sampling efforts.These findings underline the importance of integrating reptile disease ecology into wildlife conservation and public health frameworks, emphasising the urgent need to expand surveillance, particularly in underrepresented taxa and regions, to effectively address emerging disease threats under a One Health approach.…”
