Alpha diversity of ITS1 and ITS2 rRNA amplicon sequence variants in study of novel Trichuris incognita identified in patient fecal samples from Côte d’Ivoire. Shannon-Wiener Index values, indicating α diversity, were determined for Trichuris spp. ITS1 (A) and ITS2 (B) amplicon sequence variants generated by sequencing fecal sample DNA from patients in Cote d’Ivoire, Laos, and Pemba Island, Tanzania. Horizontal lines within boxes indicate medians; box tops and bottoms indicate upper (third) and lower (first) quartiles; error bars (whiskers) indicate minimum and maximum values. Pairwise t-tests were used to determine p values. ITS, internal transcribed spacer.
