Transcriptional profiles for Strongyloides stercoralis Ss-riok-3 . Transcript abundances were determined for the complete coding region of Ss-riok-3 for seven distinct developmental stages: parasitic females (P Female), post-parasitic first-stage larvae (PP L1), post-parasitic third-stage larvae (PP L3), free-living females (FL Female), post free-living first-stage larvae (PFL L1), infective third-stage larvae (iL3), and in vivo activated third-stage larvae (L3+). Transcript abundance was calculated as fragments per kilobase of coding exon per million mapped reads (FPKM). Brackets with one star represent significant differences with a statistical probability of p < 0.05. Brackets with three stars represent the significant differences with statistical probability of p < 0.001. Error bars represent 95% confidential intervals.
