Fig. 3 in Giardia duodenalis in a clinically healthy population of captive zoo chimpanzees: Rapid antigen testing, diagnostic real-time PCR and faecal microbiota profiling

Fig. 3. | Faecal bacterial community profile of captive chimpanzees infected with Giardia duodenalis as detected by rapid antigen test and real-time PCR combined. (A) Relative abundance of colour coded bacterial phyla separated based on presence (+) or absence (‒) of Giardia. The sample identity is located at the bottom of the graph. (B) Alpha diversity based on observed OTU and Shannon's index plotted as box plot and evaluated using t-tests. (C) Principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) 2D plot using first two principal components from Bray-Curtis dissimilarity matrix at the genus taxonomic levels. The clustering between Giardia positive (+) and negative (‒) samples was tested using ANOSIM. (D) Linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe) used plot of significant factors discriminating G. duodenalis positive from negative sample.
