Proteins identified in the midgut of unfed ticks and engorged ticks at 48 h post-feeding. a Number of proteins identified in each experimental group, fed and unfed ticks. b The proteins identified in the midgut of unfed and fed ticks were classified into protein classes using the Panther Classification System. Bars represent the percentage of proteins in each protein class relative to the total number of proteins in the group
