Gut bacterial replication in the context of intestinal helminth infection. A Heatmap of the growth rate index (GRiD) score, which infers an index of replication for top 20 gut bacteria in relation to helminth infection status of individuals based on Spearman correlation test followed by false discovery rate (FDR) correction. Samples are shown in rows, by village, whereas the GRiD score of each bacterium is shown in columns. The first vertical side bar color codes the intestinal helminth infection status, while the second side bar indicates the infection intensity of Trichuris. B GRiD score correlation between bacterial species with the infection intensity of Trichuris. The bar chart shows the Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient. Blue and gray colors represent the positive and negative correlations respectively. C Box plots of GRiD score for Prevotella stercorea (left), Bifidobacterium longum (middle), and Phocaeicola vulgatus (right) in Trichuris infected and uninfected individuals. The GRiD scores of these species between Trichuris infected and uninfected individuals were tested using Wilcoxon rank-sum test
