^a This paper sequenced two mixed-stages transcriptomes of a population of H. avenae in China. The pre-parasitic mixed-stages included egg, juvenile 1 and hatched juvenile 2, while the post-parasitic mixed-stages included parasitic juvenile 2, juvenile 3, juvenile 4, adult female and male. The whole life stages data consisted of sequencing reads from both pre-parasitic and post-parasitic mixed-stages
^b Kumar et al. [20] presented original transcriptomes sequencing for two life stages of a population of H. avenae in India
