Effect of cat vaccination on flea biology. Antibody levels negatively correlated with vaccine efficacy on flea egg hatchability (a) and flea fertility (b) in cats vaccinated with recombinant antigens. The correlation analysis was conducted using Microsoft Excel (version 12.0) to compare the vaccine effects on flea biology after feeding on vaccinated (blue marks) and control (red marks) cats with antibody levels (1:500 dilution of primary antibodies) at time of flea infestation (T3). The linear correlation coefficients (R2) and Pearson correlation coefficient are shown (*r < -0.5; n = 6)
