Biological features of P. trichosuri infective larvae. (A) Stress response of P. trichosuri infective larvae (dotted line, open circles) and free-living adult stages (black line, closed circles) to incubation (at 42°C) n = 220. (B) Resistance to chemical stress (paraquat) of P. trichosuri infective larvae n = 1373 (dotted line, open circles); free-living adults (black line, closed circles) n = 257; C. elegans dauer (dashed line, closed triangle) n = 1176 and C. elegans adults (grey line, open triangle) n = 534. Error bars are standard deviation. (C) The effect of cholesterol on P. trichosuri iL3 development, n = 311. Error bars are standard deviation. (D) Sudan Black staining of two P. trichosuri iL3 (top panel) and free-living adults (bottom panel) (scale bar 50 μm). (E) Resistance to chemical stresses: C. elegans dauer larvae and P. trichosuri iL3 larvae resistance to 1% SDS, n = 200.
