Overview

This analysis uncovers significant differences in fungal communities among sows, their feces, and piglets, suggesting vertical transmission.

Key Points

  • Fungal communities in piglet feces are closely related to maternal feces, indicating vertical transmission.
  • Vaginal samples had the lowest diversity of fungal communities, while sow feces showed the greatest diversity.
  • Analysis of gut fungal communities utilized ITS1 rRNA gene sequencing to identify dominant taxa across groups.
  • Functional predictions indicated a connection between detected fungi and animal pathogens, highlighting public health implications.
