Abstract

Microorganisms are everywhere and biological invasions are no exception. In this chapter, we present an arsenal of diagnostic and research tools that can help the invasion biologist to identify, characterize, quantify and understand the symbiotic assemblage that co-invades alongside their invasive or non-native host. We provide details on pathological, molecular and data processing (bioinformatic) approaches that are necessary to define the co-invading 'pathobiome', composed of commensal, mutualistic and parasitic species from large metazoan parasites through to bacteria and viruses.
