Fig. 4From: A combination of antibodies against Bm86 and Subolesin inhibits engorgement of Rhipicephalus australis (formerly Rhipicephalus microplus) larvae in vitroThe effect of monospecific antisera against tick antigens and a 1:1 combination of these antisera on R. australis larval feeding as compared to tick naïve bovine serum. Larvae of R. australis were fed in vitro on 600 µl antisera against Bm86 or SUB or on 300 µl anti-Bm86 bovine serum combined with 300 µl anti-SUB bovine serum. After 48 h, ticks were visually scored for feeding. Bars represent the inhibition of feeding as compared to the control group, expressed as a percentage. Error bars represent the standard deviation. *P < 0.05, n.s., not significantBack to article page
