Fig. 3From: Vaccination against the brown stomach worm, Teladorsagia circumcincta, followed by parasite challenge, induces inconsistent modifications in gut microbiota composition of lambsa Principal Coordinates Analysis (PCoA) of faecal microbial profiles of lambs experimentally infected with Teladorsagia circumcincta following adjuvant (Adj/Tc+_17) or vaccine (Vac/Tc+_17) administration and uninfected controls (Tc−_17) over the course of the 2017 trial. Microbial profiles were clustered by experimental group (colour) and infection status (symbol); for lambs in the Adj/Tc+_17 and Vac/Tc+_17 groups, uninfected samples correspond to those collected at 0 days post infection (dpi). b Selected microbial taxa displaying significantly higher abundance in faecal samples from experimentally infected lambs (i.e. Adj/Tc+_17 and/or Vac/Tc+_17) compared to uninfected controls.
