Differential species abundance analysis. (A) Distribution of LDA values between uninfected and infected Brandt’s voles. Bar chart displays microbial taxa with LDA scores greater than a set value (Wilcoxon rank-sum test, P < 0.01; LDA score > 4). Analysis of bacterial abundance differences of (B) Muribaculaceae (C) Eubacteriaceae (D) Rikenellaceae and (E) Lachnospiraceae were performed using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Significance levels are denoted as follows: (* for 0.01 < P ≤ 0.05, ** for 0.001 < P ≤ 0.01, and *** for P ≤ 0.001)
