Fig. 2From: Tick microbial associations at the crossroad of horizontal and vertical transmission pathwaysPrincipal coordinate analysis (PCoA) of microbial abundance scaled by 16S rRNA load. A Ticks were screened for the presence of specific pathogens, pooled, and then sequenced. The colour of samples indicates the detected pathogen, with the red dots representing the centroid. The R2 for pathogens was calculated using PERMANOVA. B PCoA coloured by longitude of sample locationsBack to article page
