Figure 5. Fold change in transcription levels of selected conserved virulence factors at 2 h, 4 h and 8 h after M. llatzerense infection of A. castellanii at a MOI of 10, compared to 0 h condition.

Statistical significance was assessed using multiple t-tests for comparison to control gene (16 S rRNA) at each time point. (P < 0.05*P < 0.01**P < 0.001***).
