  1. aFold change values refer to differences between the mRNA levels of unsporulated (day 0) or sporulated (day 4 and day 10) oocysts compared to day 2 in vitro tachyzoites of strain M4 [34].
  2. Negative values indicate a downregulation in oocysts with respect to tachyzoites. Peak fold change values ≥2 are bolded. n.a., not available.
