Suppression of Ov-aqp-1 , Ov-aqp-2 and Ov-aqp-1 + 2 gene expression results in an inability to maintain osmotic flux. Size of cultured adult parasites after treatment with control (luc), Ov-aqp-1, Ov-aqp-2 and Ov-aqp-1 + 2 dsRNAs when incubated in RPMI medium (A) or hypotonic medium (distilled water; B). Each point represents an individual parasite; horizontal line indicates the mean for that group; n = 8 per treatment. p ≤ 0.001 is indicated with ***.
