  1. aCount of protease inhibitors found present in female (F) or male (M) ticks, and number found present in both females and males (F&M)
  2. bCount of protease inhibitors found present in fed (FD) or unfed (UF) ticks, and number found present in both fed and unfed (FD&UF)
  3. cCount of protease inhibitors found present in salivary glands (SG) or midgut (MG), and number found present in both of these tissues (SG&MG)
  4. dData reported here are from our previously published analysis of family I4 [53]
  5. eData reported here are from [52] which analyzed female salivary gland data only
