Average relative gene expression in infected bryozoan and infected fish kidney tissues of representative T. bryosalmonae genes involved in lipid metabolism. All gene values were normalized to TbRPL18. ΔCq values, stated above each bar, represent the expression level of genes of interest relative to TbRPL18 in each infected host with values > 1 indicating lower expression and values < 1 indicating higher expression relative to TbRPL18. *P < 0.05. Black bars = infected fish, grey bars = infected bryozoan. Gene abbreviations: phospholipase A1 member A-like (PLA1A), Triacyl glycerol lipase (TGL), Lipase Member H-like (LIPH), Pancreatic lipase-related protein 2 (PLPR2), Endothelial lipase (LIPG), Hepatic triacyl glycerol lipase (LIPC), Group XV phospholipase A2 (PLA2-G15), Phospholipase A-2-activating protein (PLAA), Low-density lipoprotein receptor class A-like protein 1/2/3 (LDLR-A1/2/3) , Sortilin-related receptor (SORL1) and Oxysterol-binding protein 2-like (OSBP).
