| Individual | 0.933 | 0.001 | 0.004 | 0.996 | 0.095 | 68 worms from 60 people |

| Village | 0.052 | 0.001 | 0.004 | 0.013 | 0.335 | Five villages with 43, 17, 4, 3, and one individual each |
| Time point | 0.018 | 0.162 | 0.648 | 0.024 | 0.100 | 55 at baseline and 13 post-deworming |
* Results based on PERMANOVA using phylogenetic distances among worms. Results were largely similar using a distance matrix generated from the PCA plot (Figure 6) and using the Multi-Response Permutation Procedure (MRPP) method (Supplementary file 9).
† Since some worms did not have metadata associated with each variable examined, and some variables were over-represented in the sample (for example, 43 of 68 worms came from a single village) the samples are specified in this column.
