Treatment Summary:All parasites were obtained from FR3 (Filariasis Research Reagent Resource Center; BEI Resources, Manassas, VA, USA) where they were isolated and separated by sex from infected gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) or mosquitoes (Aedes aegypti). Worms were flash-frozen and shipped to the New York Blood Center for processing. Stages used for metabolomics analysis included L3 larvae from mosquitoes, adult male and female worms at 120dpi, and microfilaria. The number of worms per sample were 20 adult female worms, 40 adult males, 2X106 microfilariae, and 200 L3 larvae per biological replicate. Samples were washed in 1x PBS and run in triplicate. Adult male and female worms were picked individually from PBS and each biological was weighed. The microfilaria and L3 samples were spun down, the PBS pipetted off, and weighed directly into a metabolomics 2mL screw cap vial with total amounts ranging from 1.3 mg (adult males) to 15.8 mg (microfilaria). Metabolites were extracted and the data analyzed as described in the Supplementary Information.
