Among-population proteomic differences in Schistocephalus solidus based on excretory/secretory and total body protein predictions

These population-level differences were observed in both ESP and whole-body tissue types. Our study suggests that S. solidus can excrete and secrete a wide range of proteins which are distinct among populations. These differences might reflect plastic responses to host genotype differences, or evolved adaptations by Schistocephalus to different local host populations.
