Table 4 Higher richness of Oesophagostomum spp. helminth parasite amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) is significantly associated with lower urinary neopterin levels (ng/mg urinary creatinine, log-transformed) in geladas in the Simien Mountains National Park population.

From: Urinary neopterin reflects immunological variation associated with age, helminth parasitism, and the microbiome in a wild primate
