Figure 3. Transcriptional gene expression of TrxR in untreated midguts and salivary glands throughout the blood meal of A. maculatum adult females.

Figure 3

Transcriptional expression fluctuates throughout the blood meal, but never rises above the unfed stage in both the salivary glands and midguts. The transcriptional expression in salivary glands significantly down regulated on day 4 (P-value <0.05) and remained similar across other time points. But transcriptional expression in midgut significantly depleted on days 2 and 8 (P-value <0.01). TrxR gene expression was normalized against the unfed developmental stage using tick β-actin as the reference gene.
