The Strongyloides life cycle stages used for small RNA analysis. Small RNA was sequenced from five life cycle stages of S. venezuelensis (yellow star): free-living female adults, free-living infective larvae (iL3) searching for a host, parasitic ‘activated’ infective larvae (activated iL3) in the host environment, adult parasitic females from the host’s intestine, and their eggs. Unlike other Strongyloides species, free-living males were not found in S. venezuelensis.
