Fig. 7.

Relative abundances of top 30 ileal fungal amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) among chickens with different severities of NE. Ileal fungi were diminished (A), increased (B), or unaltered (C) in NE. Each box indicated median, 25th and 75th percentiles, while whiskers of the box plots extended to 1.5 interquartile range. Significance was determined using Kruskal-Wallis test and was indicated on the top of each plot. Groups not sharing common superscripts were significantly different at P < 0.05 as measured by pair-wise Mann–Whitney U test
