Effects of M. rileyi infection on intestinal microbial diversity of oriental armyworm larvae. A Veen map of OTU numbers of gut microbes in healthy and infected insects infected with M. rileyi XSBN200920 and JHML200710. B Intestinal microalpha diversity-Chao index of insects. Tukey's honestly significant difference [HSD]: P < 0.05 (*). Error bars: standard deviation (n = 3). C Beta diversity-PCoA analysis of insect gut microbes. D The relative abundance of gut microbes at the Phylum level in infected and healthy insects infected with M. rileyi XSBN200920 and JHML200710 (n = 3). E Significant differences in cyanobacteria between intestinal microbes of infected and healthy insects by M. rileyi XSBN200920 and JHML200710 (Kruskal–Wallis rank sum test (n = 3): P < 0.01 (**)), error bars: standard deviation
