Proteases and phylogenetic analysis of leishmanolysin-like metalloproteases (M8) in 12 flatworms. A Different numbers of protease and inhibitor protein-coding genes between blood flukes and liver flukes; B gene expression profiles of proteases and protease inhibitors between cercariae and schistosomulae of T. regenti with one-to-one orthologs in S. mekongi based on reciprocal BLAST identification; C evolution of M8 in 12 flatworms. Two clusters of Schistosoma genus-specific expanded M8 sequences are highlighted in red and yellow; D M8 loci in three schistosome species; E expression values (Fragments Per Kilobase Million, FPKM) of M8 in cercariae and schistosomulae of an avian blood fluke (T. regenti)
