Transcript abundance of Hc-cbp-1 and Hc-cbp-2 in Dex⁺- and Dex⁻-treated H. contortus-infected sheep. Relative transcript abundance for Hc-cbp-1 (a) and Hc-cbp-2 (b) was determined using cDNA synthesized from adult H. contortus total RNA obtained from Dex⁺ and Dex⁻ (control) animals and Hc-cbp-1 and Hc-cbp-2 specific qPCR primers. The values were normalized to adult H. contortus from Dex⁻ animals and GAPDH was used as internal control. Data were analyzed using the ΔΔCt method where *p ≤ 0.05. Data are reported as mean (M) of three replicates ± SEM
