Transcriptional levels of Hco-daf-8 in eight developmental stages/sexes of Haemonchus contortus. The relative abundance of Hco-daf-8 was assessed in eight developmental stages of H. contortus: eggs (E); first-stage larvae (L1); second-stage larvae (L2); third-stage larvae (L3); fourth-stage females (L4f); fourth-stage males (L4m); adult females (Af); adult males (Am). The relative quantities (compared with egg, egg = 1) are shown as the mean values (± standard error of the mean, SE) derived from three replicates in repeat experiments. All gene transcription levels were normalised against that of the β-tubulin gene. Statistical analysis was carried out using one-way ANOVA. P-values are calculated using Tukey’s post-hoc test. Significant differences between stages are marked *P < 0.05, ****P < 0.0001
