Graduate Student Mirabeau Ngwese analyzed gut microbiomes that he obtained in Gabon for the diversity of soil transmitted helminths (STH) and the microbiome. He generated metagenomes and performed microscopy and qPCR for the STHs. For three of the four STHs, he could match the microscopy/qPCR data with the metagenome data for the parasites. This allowed him to assess parasite prevalence for other metagenome data collected in other parts of Africa, and to find consistent associations of parasites and microbiome species.
