Study of the gut microbiota in animal neurological and neurodegenerative diseases

This research line focuses on investigating the role of gut microbiota in neurological and neurodegenerative diseases in animals. - Canine idiopathic epilepsy: The intestinal microbiota composition of dogs with idiopathic epilepsy has been analyzed, along with their response to probiotic treatments, assessing its impact on disease management. - Ovine scrapie: The gut microbiota of sheep affected by scrapie has been studied to explore its potential involvement in the pathogenesis and progression of this neurodegenerative disease.
