Figure 6. Enzymatic activity of TrxR in midguts and salivary glands from partially fed A. maculatum injected with dsLacZ (control) or dsRNA-TrxR.

Figure 6

The enzymatic activity of thioredoxin reductase was reduced by 96.0% in midguts and 93.5% in the salivary glands of dsTrxR-injected ticks, when compared to the control dsLacZ group. The depletion of the enzymatic activity in dsTrxR knockdown tick tissues were statistically significant (P-value < 0.01).
