Differentially abundant bacterial taxa between Necator americanus-infected volunteers with relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) who suffered a clinical and/or radiological relapse (N+_{non-responders}) vs. volunteers for which no relapses were recorded (N+_responders), 1 week prior to infection/placebo treatment (T_pre), at 1, 5, and 9 months post-infection/placebo treatment (T_treatment), and 2 months post-anthelmintic treatment (T_post) based on linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe) analysis. Colours correspond to linear discriminant analysis (LDA) scores of 4 or higher (N+_responders = dark red; N+_{non-responders} = ochre), 3.5 to 4 (N+_responders = red; N+_{non-responders} = orange), and 3 to 3.5 (N+_responders = pink; N+_{non-responders} = grey)
