SALVUCCI, EMILIANO. Consequences of Biome Depletion. Acta biol.Colomb. [online]. 2013, vol.18, n.1, pp.31-42. ISSN 0120-548X.

The human microbiome is an integral part of the superorganism together with their host and they have co-evolved since the early days of the existence of the human species. The modification of the microbiome as a result changes in food and social habits of human beings throughout their life history has led to the emergence of many diseases. In contrast with the darwinian view of nature of selfishness and competence, new holistic approaches are rising. Under these views, the reconstitution of the microbiome comes out as a fundamental therapy for emerging diseases related to biome depletion.
