Relative mRNA expression levels of dcl-1 (A), dcl-2 (B), and qde-2 (C) in TmPV1-free and TmPV1-infected T. marneffei isolate PM1 and PM41 in the yeast phase and of dcl-1 (D), dcl-2 (E), and qde-2 (F) in the mycelial phase. Results were obtained from four independent experimental replicates. Statistical analysis was performed using Student’s t test for comparisons between TmPV1-free and TmPV1-infected isogenic isolates. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.001; ***, P < 0.0001; N.S., not significant. Error bars indicate standard errors of the means.
