Fig. 2From: Composition of gut and oropharynx bacterial communities in Rattus norvegicus and Suncus murinus in ChinaChao 1, Shannon and Simpson indices of different groups of samples. The throat swab samples had a significantly greater number of microbial species than the faecal samples. The bacterial richness and evenness in throat swab samples of S. murinus was higher than that of R. norvegicus, while the bacterial richness and evenness in faecal samples of R. norvegicus was higher than that of S. murinusBack to article page
