Figure 3From: Extracellular Onchocerca-derived small RNAs in host nodules and blood Venn diagram depicting overlap in extracellular miRNAs identified in filarial infections. Overlapping mature miRNAs sequences identified in cattle nodule fluids (O. ochengi), serum/plasma from infected patients in Cameroon and Ghana (O. volvulus) and infected mouse serum (L. sigmodontis, as previously reported [9]). 1These miRNAs differ by 1 nt outside of the seed region in L. sigmodontis and O. ochengi. 2miR-153-3p is identical to mammalian miR-153-3p from nucleotides 1–21.Back to article page
