Mean percent and standard deviation of Rhipicephalus microplus hemocytes population (prohemocytes, granulocytes, plasmatocytes, spherulocytes and oenocytoids) of untreated tick females (ticks under physiological conditions), tween-inoculated ticks and fungus-infected ticks. R. microplus females were infected with Metarhizium robertsii ARSEF 2575. Mean values (±) standard deviation followed by ^∗ differ statistically by multiple t-tests (P ≤ 0.05). A total of 100 cells were counted in each slide (five slides were analyzed for each group). Experiments were repeated with at least three independent biological samples.
