Mature miR-275 and Vg-2 expression in different developmental stages and tissues. a Relative expression of Vg-2 was analyzed in eggs, unfed larvae, fed larvae, unfed nymphs, fed nymphs, unfed adults and fed adults. b Relative expression of miR-275 was analyzed in eggs, unfed larvae, fed larvae, unfed nymphs, fed nymphs, unfed adults and fed adults. c Relative expression of miR-275 in salivary glands, midgut and ovary in unfed and fed female ticks. Data represent three biological replicates with three technical replicates and are shown as the mean ± SEM
