A gut virus previously undetected by scientists, has been found to be present in more than half the world's population, found in a new study led by researchers at San Diego State University. The virus, named crAssphage, infects one of the most common types of gut bacteria, iBacteroidetes/i. This phylum of bacteria is thought to be connected with obesity, diabetes and other gut-related diseases. The research appears today in iNature Communications/i.Robert ...Friday 25 July 2014
