Effects of dietary chicory and Heligmosomoides polygyrus infection on composition of the cecal microbiota. A α-diversity box plots showing higher diversity in mice fed 10% chicory. B–D β-diversity by unweighted UniFrac showing a divergence in mice with different treatments. E Abundance of taxa identified by ANCOM as being significantly impacted by diet and/or H. polygyrus infection. Differentially abundant taxa were further analysed using Kruskal–Wallis testing within each infection group. Shown are median values. n = 3–6 mice per group. * p < 0.05 by Kruskal–Wallis test
