Comparative analysis of oral-gut microbiota between captive and wild long-tailed macaque in Thailand

Abstract Long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis), distributed in Southeast Asia, are generally used in biomedical research. At present, the expansion of human communities overlapping of macaques’ natural habitat causes human-macaque conflicts. To mitigate this problem in Thailand, the National Pr...
