Principal coordinates analysis of the structure of the GI tract microbiotas of H. polygyrus infected and uninfected mice. Cecal and ileal microbiotas are represented by symbols of different color (cecum = black, ileum = red); experiment 1 and 2 are represented by symbols of different shape (square = experiment 1, circle = experiment 2); and microbiotas from infected and uninfected mice are represented by filled and unfilled symbols (uninfected = unfilled, infected = filled). Cecal microbiotas grouped according to the experiments. Ileal microbiotas from infected mice were different from uninfected mice in both experiments.
