Exploring the intestinal landscape of wild great apes
REFNo: NS1057ES

Characterise and compare the bacterial, bacteriophage and symbiotic eukaryote communities of humans, with varying levels of habitat overlap with chimpanzees, by conducting metagenomic sequencing and comparative analysis of identified OTUs, to investigate the extent and impact of so-called “humanisation” of the intestinal landscape amongst wild great apes existing within varying proximity of humans.Analyse the interactions, through OTU co-occurrence networks, between the different members of the intestinal landscape in both humans and non-human primates.Identify the symbiotic eukaryote and protozoan communities of the gastrointestinal tract of domestic animals exhibiting spatial overlap with eastern chimpanzees.Evaluate potential interspecies transmission of intestinal parasites between humans, domestic animals, and wild chimpanzees by comparing parasite diversity and genetic similarity of those occurring in share habitats.
