This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:
"Solid organ transplant recipients need immunosuppressive therapy for the rest of their lives and have more distinct virus populations in their microbiome than people without suppressed immune systems. But we do not yet know if, or how much, the donor’s virome impacts the recipient’s virome, particularly in parts of the body other than the transplanted organ. To narrow this gap, a recent study applied a data modeling approach to the viral communities in the airway and plasma of lung transplant recipients. Differences between plasma and airway viromes increased during the first year after implantation, but the viromes from the same body site and in different patients became more similar over time. Time after transplantation was significantly associated with virome composition variance for airway samples but not plasma samples..."
