Fig. 4From: A U.S. isolate of Theileria orientalis, Ikeda genotype, is transmitted to cattle by the invasive Asian longhorned tick, Haemaphysalis longicornisQuantitative PCR of T. orientalis mpsp in salivary gland samples from acquisition-fed adult H. longicornis ticks. Salivary glands dissected from a subset of adult ticks from Batch #1 and Batch #2 were stimulation fed on calves 1718, 1726, and 1727. Only positive ticks are depicted in the graph. Columns represent the copy number per salivary gland pair dissected from a single tick. *Single positive salivary gland pair from batch #2Back to article page
