The relative total antioxidant capacity was determined in extracts of tick tissues (top) and in pooled saliva collected from ticks injected with selenoprotein-dsRNA compared to control (GFP-dsRNA) (bottom) collected from tissue seven days post-infestation. Asterisks indicate a significant difference compared to control (**p≤0.001). The total antioxidant capacity within saliva of unfed ticks was not determined due to difficulties in collecting sufficient saliva to perform experimentation.
