Expression of apoptosis related genes in Rhipicephalus haemaphysaloides salivary glands upregulated post-engorgement. a Intrinsic apoptosis pathway. b Extrinsic apoptosis pathway. c Executioner components. d Other apoptosis related genes. Light green, upregulated genes were selected as those between 2–10 fold (1 < log2 normalized fold change < 3.32); green, upregulated genes were selected as those expressed by more than 10 fold (log2 normalized fold change > 3.32); Pink, downregulated expressed gene were selected as those with a 2–10 fold (2 < log2 normalized fold change < 3.32); Red, downregulated expressed gene were those with a more than 10 fold (log2 normalized fold change > 3.32)
