Transcript level of RmAQP2 in salivary glands of partially engorged R. microplus females injected with dsRNA or buffer control. A total of 6 biological replicates were analyzed at day 5 after the double stranded RNA (dsRNA) injection. Panel a and b show the level of gene silencing of ticks injected with 1 fragment or 2 fragments of RmAQP2 dsRNA, respectively. RmAQP2 was silenced 92.8 % (±0.26 %) and 99.3 % (±3.70 %) in ticks injected with one dsRNA or two dsRNA fragments, respectively
