Fig. 2From: Stool microbiota composition is associated with the prospective risk of Plasmodium falciparum infectionIncrease in microbial taxa diversity with age in the Malian cohort. For each stool microbiota sample, the alpha diversity (Chao estimate) of the microbial community (y-axis) was plotted against the individual’s age in years (x-axis). The blue line is the linear model fit and has a positive slope (P < 10−15)Back to article page
