The expression of both IL-10 paralogues strongly correlated with parasite prevalence (IL-10A: r = 0.735 and IL-10B: r = 0.679) and weakly with kidney swelling grade, whilst the expression of TGF-β1a, nIL-1F, and FOXP3A/B exhibited weak or no correlation with both infection read-outs (Figure 8. See Additional file 2 for IL-10B data). This evidence concerns the gene IL24 and infection.
