Abstract

The German cockroach infests diverse human-built structures, including homes and hospitals. It produces potent allergens that trigger asthma and disseminates opportunistic pathogens in its feces. A comprehensive understanding of gut and fecal microbial communities of cockroaches is essential not only to understand their contribution to the biology of the cockroach, but also for exploring their clinical relevance. In this study, we compare the diversity of bacteria and eukaryotes in the cockroach gut and feces and assess the variation in the gut microbiota across cockroach populations.
