Fig. 2: Community-level changes associated with infection status, stratified by country.

A Alpha diversity metric stratified by country and infection status. The left panel shows the Shannon diversity index, and the right panel displays the Berger-Parker dominance index. B Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) plot based on the Bray-Curtis dissimilarity index. Results from community comparisons using PERMANOVA and community dispersion using PERMDISP are shown, with significant results highlighted in bold. C Core microbiome analysis illustrating baseline taxonomic differences across the three study settings. D Heatmap with overall sample clustering based on Robust Aitchison dissimilarity and the Ward method for cladogram construction. The original eggs per gram (EPG) values of stool are displayed at the bottom of each sample.
