Figure 7. Genes encoding cysteine proteases.

Figure 7

The majority of cysteine protease genes were up-regulated in the schistosomulum, the fold changes for three being >40×, with fewer in the cercaria and germ ball. We infer that the up-regulation seen in the schistosomulum is related to the early differentiation of the parasite gut.
