Are antimicrobial defences in bird eggs related to climatic conditions associated with risk of trans-shell microbial infection?

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Horrocks et_al and collaborators from the (UNIVERSITY) have published the research: Are antimicrobial defences in bird eggs related to climatic conditions associated with risk of trans-shell microbial infection?, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
  • future: Future work should focus on the nest microenvironment as mechanisms of trans-shell infection at the level of the egg likely act differently to those functioning at the macro-climatic scale investigated in this study.

SUMMARY

    All bird eggs are exposed to microbes in the environment, which if transmitted to the developing embryo, could cause hatching . . .
