Fig. 5From: Low pathogenic avian influenza virus infection retards colon microbiota diversification in two different chicken linesCompositional PCA plots of chicken colon microbiota using unweighted UniFrac distance data, categorized by time point and group (Day_Group). a PCA analysis of RIR and VALO chicken colon microbiota grouped by day. The samples were collected at day 7 of age (D7), day 14 (D14), day 21 (D21), day 28 (D28) and day 32 of age (D32). b PCA analysis of H9N2 infected and uninfected, control RIR chickens at day 0 (D0) pre-challenge, day 2 (D2), day 4 (D4) and day 10 post-challenge (D10). Chickens were challenged with recombinant A/chicken/Pakistan/UDL01/08 H9N2 LPAIV at D0 of experiment. c PCA analysis of H9N2 infected RIR and VALO chickens at day 0 pre-challenge (D0), day 3 (D3) and day 14 (D14) post-challenge. Chickens were challenge with recombinant A/chicken/Pakistan/UDL01/08 H9N2 LPAIV at D0 of experiment. PC1, PC2; percent variables explained (%)Back to article page
