Table 4b. Showing raw data used to generate Figure 7b.

Feeding of each lifestage of Poultry Red Mite (PRM) on hens across an 18-week period. Table 4a shows data for adult females, Table 4b for deutonymphs and Table 4c for protonymphs. Each “rate” represents the predicted feeding rate of mites (± 95% CI), based on recorded percentages of 100 adult mites or 50 protonymph or deutonymph mites which had fed on each of five replicate hens at each timepoint. “LCL” and “UCL” are the lower and upper limits of the 95% confidence interval, respectively.
