a There was an inverse correlation of Giardia DNA to decreased Shannonʼs alpha diversity (Spearmanʼs r = − 0.4781, P = 0.0447); > 1 fg/µl was selected as heavy Giardia DNA burden since a noticeable change in slope occurred after 1 fg/µl. b The mean of the Giardia > 1 fg/µl group (dotted line) has a significant decrease in bacterial diversity compared with the uninfected group (P = 0.0317) and all other groups (P = 0.000166). *P < 0.05
