a, b HSP gene expression in Schistosoma mansoni during development. a Comparative analysis of the expression profiles of different HSPs during development of the parasite from egg to adult worm using quantitative data obtained from Schisto.xyz. Ten percentile expression categories were calculated from the gene expression values relative to the maximum expression level for each gene that was assigned 100%. White represents no expression and black represents maximum (100%) expression for each gene. b Comparative analysis of the maximum HSP gene expression data and the associated parasite life stage for each HSP member; note that “cercaria” and “male paired” are absent as no HSP gene was maximally expressed at these stages
