Two Key Actinomycetota Taxa in the Human Gut Microbiota are Associated with<i>Schistosoma mansoni</i>Infection Burden Open
In this study, we sought to identify key microbial taxa associated with human gut dysbiosis during S. mansoni infection and whether the changes are linked to the intensity of helminth infection. Stool samples were obtained from 20 persons …
