Transcription localization of Sj-riok-2 detected by in situ hybridization on sections of adult worms of Schistosoma japonicum. a Semi-quantification of the Sj-eggshell (Sj-es) gene in 42 d adult worms. b Histological localization of Sj-es, with antisense probe (left) and sense probe (right) of Sj-es. c Histological localization of Sj-riok-2, with antisense probe (c1-4) and sense probe (c5-8). Transcripts of Sj-es were detected in the vitellarium (v), and Sj-riok-2 was localized mainly in all reproductive organs: ovary (o), vitellarium (v), mature oocyte (mo), immature oocyte (imo), vitelloduct (vtd), ootype-surrounding area (ot), testis (t) and gastrodermis (ga). Scale-bars: 50 μm
