In 12-well culture plates (500 ML/500 μL) at 37 °C with 5% CO2, muscle larvae were cultured in RPMI-1640 (supplemented with penicillin 500 units/mL and streptomycin 500 mg/mL) with siRNA-180, siRNA-419, siRNA-559, siRNA-Control, and PBS control as described above [42 (link)]. ML stage parasites were tested for motility and ecdysis (molting process). An inverted bright field microscope (Olympus, Shibuya, Japan) was used to examine the phenotypic appearance [24 (link)].
