Infection is associated with longitudinal changes in taxa abundances. Boxplots representing overtime profiles of microbial taxa significantly altered in the faeces of sheep infected with Teladorsagia circumcincta following adjuvant inoculation (Adj/Tc+) or vaccination (Vac/Tc+) and uninfected controls (Tc−). Statistical differences were assessed by Mixed Effect Linear Regression (FDR-adjusted q < 0.05) followed by Tukey’s test as a post hoc analysis; letters indicate significant differences (Tukey’s p < 0.05) for a particular time point with respect to : a = pre-trial (PT); b = end of immunisation (EI); c = 19 days post infection (dpi) and d = 47 dpi. ns = no sample available
