Characterization of the natural gut and genital microbiota in vervet monkeys. a PCoA, b alpha diversity, and taxonomic summaries at the c phylum and d genus levels across four body sites (fecal N = 44, rectal N = 103, penile N = 20 and vaginal N = 51). Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes are the most abundant bacteria in all sample types. Fusobacteria and Actinobacteria are common in the genital microbiome, and Spirochaetes and Proteobacteria are common in the gut microbiome. *Comparison versus fecal samples. +Comparison versus rectal samples. #Comparison versus vaginal samples. *+# p value ≤ 0.05
