Volcano plot abundance changes analysis of Haemaphysalis longicornis saliva proteins identified both in fully engorged nymph (nymph) and fully engorged adult females (adult). Each point represents the difference in expression (log2 fold difference) between nymph and adult plotted against the level of statistical significance. Proteins represented by (blue dot) had an identification that satisfied both fold and statistical criteria; (yellow dot) had an identifications that was filtered out by the L-stringency; (green dot) had an identification satisfied the fold criteria but, most likely, this happened by chance; and (red dot) had identification did not meet the fold and p-value criteria
