Figure 6

Composition of triatomine gut microbiota. (A) Proportion of bacterial families according to triatomine species. Taxonomic groups are color-coded as indicated and numbers in parenthesis on the right indicate sample size for each species. (B) Comparison of Chao1 (top panel) and Shannon (bottom panel) diversity indices among species. There were no significant differences among species (F = 0.82, P = 0.52 and F = 1.47, P = 0.23, respectively). (C) NMDS analysis of beta diversity among species. Microbiota composition was significantly different among species (PERMANOVA, F = 1.73, P = 0.006).
