Profiling the Gut Microbiome of Hylobatidae and Cercopithecinae : Insights Into the Health of Primates in Captivity

A healthy gut microbiome is essential for digestion in primates, for developing the gut immune system, and for defense against pathogen invasion. Next-generation sequencing allows for determining the microbiome composition and enables the continuous monitoring of primate health.To comprehensively an...
