| Comments | P.196 left column 3rd paragraph: "The intestinal meiofauna is complex and present in asymptomatic individuals [refs 3, 99, 116, 117], and may alter inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes and asthma [ref 118]. As an example, sequencing the mycobiome in faecal samples from apparently healthy individuals detected fungi in every sample tested and over 50 fungal genera [primary source]." |
