Figure 2. Genes whose products are involved in aerobic metabolism.

Figure 2

The relative expression levels of the thirteen differentially expressed genes encoding proteins involved in aerobic metabolism are shown. The majority (9/13) were up-regulated in the cercaria, with 7 in the germ ball, and none in the day 3 schistosomulum. This reflects the intensive energy requirements of the rapidly swimming cercaria.
