From: The gut virome is associated with stress-induced changes in behaviour and immune responses in mice
(a) First, to answer whether the gut virome is affected by stress we assessed behaviour, physiology, and microbiome alterations following chronic psychosocial stress. (b) Then, to determine if the virome can be harnessed to prevent stress, we administered an autochthonous faecal virome transplant (FVT) treatment to mice as they underwent stress and found that the FVT attenuated stress effects on behaviour, physiology, microbiome, and brain transcriptomics.
