  1. GLMMs were carried out to analyse the influence of the A. suum infection group (single-infection, trickle-infection, non-infected control) and day post-infection (day p.i.) on different alpha diversity metrics. Significant P-values are printed in bold. Est.: estimate; OTUs: operational taxonomic units; p.i.: post-infection; SE: standard error
