Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in.

Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years.

Yacold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program.

Climate change. It's the culprit behind an increase in droughts and floods, wildfires, and storms.

And a new study shows that it's making more meerkats come down with tuberculosis.

The findings appear in the journal, Nature Climate Change.

So tuberculosis is an endemic disease in meerkats.

It has been present in the population since the murkats have been studied.

Maria Panif is a researcher at the Doniana Biological Research Station in Spain.

She says that for Mirkats living in the Kalahari, TB outbreaks have been on the rise.

Coincidentally, so have the local temperatures.

So we wanted to know whether there was a link between climate change,

which has been increasing temperature extremes extremes and increases in tuberculosis outbreaks

and how this may affect population of this social species.

So, Ponif and her colleagues crunch the numbers.

I was very fortunate to collaborate with the Kalahari-Mirket project, which is a fantastic

project where we now have over 22 years of very detailed

data on individual Mirkats and about their survival, their reproduction, their growth,

their movement and so on. So it's a very rich data set to work with. They use the data to build
