Fig. 5From: Silencing expression of the Rhipicephalus microplus vitellogenin receptor gene blocks Babesia bovis transmission and interferes with oocyte maturationRmVgR dsRNA reduced tick egg embryonic development rate. a Tick egg embryonic development rate changed due to RmVgR silencing. b Embryonated eggs from the different treatment groups. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences: t(58) = 9.9, P < 0.0001 (RmVgR dsRNA-injected group vs buffer-injected group); and t(58) = 10.4, P < 0.0001 (RmVgR dsRNA-injected group vs non-injected group)Back to article page
