Alpha diversity increased with age but was not influenced by Cryptosporidium parvum. A Observed OTUs between healthy control and Cryptosporidium-positive groups at Week 1, 5, and 10. A pairwise Wilcoxon test shows differences in observed OTUs between time-points. The red dots indicate the mean. B Shannon diversity between healthy control and Cryptosporidium-positive groups at Week 1, 5, and 10. A pairwise Wilcoxon test shows differences in Shannon indices between time-points. The red dots indicate the mean. C Local regression with locally estimated scatterplot smoothing (LOESS) of observed OTUs between healthy control and Cryptosporidium-positive groups stratified by day of sampling shows within time-point variation. D Local regression with LOESS of Shannon diversity between healthy control and Cryptosporidium-positive groups stratified by day of sampling shows within time-point variation
