ASFV localization in infected soft ticks 3 months post-infection. PCR results, expressed as Cq) were split into four categories: (i) Negative organs, when no ASFV genome was detected; (ii) 35–45 Cq, for organs with a low load; (iii) 25–35 Cq, for an intermediate load; and (iv) < 25 Cq for a high ASFV genome load. Three organs were analyzed: reproductive organs, intestine, and salivary glands. The abbreviations for tick–virus combinations tested are as given in Fig. 2 caption
