Expression of Dicer-2 and AGO2 in Ctenocephalides felis 48 h after exposure to overnight immersion in 2 µg/µl of double-stranded GST (dsGST) (solid lines) or 0.9% saline (dotted lines). All values are displayed as the mean normalised expression ± S.E.M. of the gene of interest relative to the saline control at that time point. (A) Relative normalised expression of Dicer-2. (B) Relative normalised expression of AGO2. n = 4 groups of 10 fleas. ^*P < 0.05 (statistically significant difference from saline control at a given time point).
