From: Fecal microbiota impacts development of Cryptosporidium parvum in the mouse
Association of pre-patent microbiota and the course of cryptosporidiosis. Taxonomic β diversity (left) and functional β diversity (right) are positively correlated with the difference in the course of the infection. Left, taxonomic distance vs. oocyst distance (r = 0.42, n = 1128, p = 6.3e−50). Right, pathway distance vs. oocyst distance (r = 0.44, n = 1128, p = 2.8e−54). Oocyst distance is defined as the square of the difference between mean oocyst output of two mice. The analysis is based on 48 pre-patent samples. Samples collected after day 3 post-infection are excluded. Yellow symbols indicate comparisons between samples from the same experiment.
