Fig 5. Knockdown of BgTLR in resistant BS-90 snails yields cercariae-producing S. mansoni infections.

Fig 5

BS-90 snails were injected with BgTLR or GFP (knockdown control) siRNA oligonucleotide mix and after 48 hours exposed individually to ~5 miracidia. Non-injected M-line snails served as the susceptible controls for parasite viability. The number of cercariae-producing snails was expressed as a percentage of the starting number (n) of snails. Figure represents pooled data from two independent experiments. Asterisk (*) indicates significant difference from BS-90 GFP knockdown control for each week while hash (#) indicates significant difference between BS-90 BgTLR knockdown and M-line susceptible control for each week.
