(A) Nymph salivary gland extract probed with rP8/rP19/rP23 immune rabbit serum (panel 1), rP8 or rP19 or rP23 immune rabbit serum (panel 2), and with serum from the control (OVA) rabbit. (B) Nymph weights recovered from the control and the rP8/rP19/rP23 immunized rabbits. Tick weights of the heavy group of nymphs (C) and light group of nymphs (D) fed on rP8/rP19/rP23 immunized rabbits compared to the control rabbits. Weights of the heavy group of nymphs (E) and light group (F) of nymphs fed on rabbits immunized singly with OVA, rP19, rP8 or rP23 respectively. The horizontal bars represent the means of the respective groups. Unpaired t-test was used to determine statistical significance.
