Table 4.

Relative abundance of an iflavirus associated with I. ricinus, in different field populations and life-stages. Abundance was assessed by read counts per million in different RNA-Seq libraries, comparing A) different field populations (each library was obtained from a pool of 50 nymphs), data from BioProject PRJNA662080 B) different life-stages and conditions, for a lab-reared strain, data from BioProject PRJNA595586. A dot indicates a negative library (i.e. less than the one read per million threshold), where the virus is presumed absent from the pool of individuals
