Salivary gland proteome analysis of developing adult female Haemaphysalis longicornis ticks: molecular motor and TCA cycle-related proteins play an important role throughout development

Table 2 Gene expression silencing by RNAi

Gene	Mean gene expression silencing rate (%)
Gene	Salivary gland^a	Whole tick^a
Dynein	78.3 ± 6.2	81.2 ± 7.7
Kinesin	83.3 ± 7.4	85.6 ± 6.5
Isocitrate dehydrogenase	73.2 ± 11.8	69.1 ± 8.3
Citrate synthase	83.1 ± 10.4	86.7 ± 7.3

^aMean ± standard deviation (SD)
Note: Gene expression silencing rate was compared between female RNAi with test genes dsRNA and GFP control dsRNA
