Fig. 3From: Dual RNA-seq reveals no plastic transcriptional response of the coccidian parasite Eimeria falciformis to host immune defensesCorrelations of E. falciformis mRNA abundance with ortholgues from other Coccidia. E.falciformis mRNA abundance was compared to that of orthologous genes of E. tenella [45, 46] and T. gondii [47]. Correlation coefficients (Spearman’s ρ) were clustered using complete linkage. T. gondii and Eimeria spp. “late infection” samples cluster together. E. falciformis early infection samples cluster with E. tenella merozoites. E. falciformis sporozoites cluster with E. falciformis early infection, whereas unsporulated oocysts cluster with E. tenella unsporulated oocystsBack to article page
