From: Specific increase of Fusobacterium in the faecal microbiota of neonatal calves infected with Cryptosporidium parvum

Figure 3

Fusobacterium loads in samples from Cryptosporidium parvum-positive or -negative calves aged 11–15 days from the farms in Okinawa (n = 7), Kagoshima (n = 1), Iwate (n = 9) and Hokkaido (n = 6) prefectures. The increase in abundance of Fusobacterium in C. parvum-positive samples (n = 9) was detected in six samples by quantitative PCR (qPCR). No increase was observed in C. parvum-negative samples (n = 14). A highly significant correlation was observed (r = 0.61, *P < 0.05).
