A. Relative abundance of Prevotella across tested groups. Box plot graphic representation of the normalized median counts of Prevotella within the tested groups: NPDM (Controls with no parasites detected in the microscopic stool analysis), Blasto (Children parasitized only by Blastocystis spp.). E_coli (Children parasitized only by Entamoeba coli). E_nana (Children parasitized only by Endolimax nana). The difference in the median values between NPDM controls and Blasto groups was statistically significant with a p < 0.05. C. Relative abundance of Akkermansia across tested groups. Box plot graphic representation of the normalized median counts of Akkermansia within the tested groups: NPDM (Controls with no parasites detected in the microscopic stool analysis), Blasto (Children parasitized only by Blastocystis spp.). E_coli (Children parasitized only by Entamoeba coli). E_nana (Children parasitized only by Endolimax nana). The difference in the median values between Blasto and E_coli groups was statistically significant with a p < 0.05.
