Tissue and temporal distribution of ecdysteroid receptor (EcR and USP) of Rhipicephalus haemaphysaloides. Tissues were dissected from female ticks. Using qRT-PCR, relative RNA levels of RhEcR and RhUSP were measured at each time point. Temporal distribution profile of a RhEcR and b RhUSP in the salivary gland, fat body, gut, ovary, and synganglion during the blood-feeding and post-engorgement periods. Both RhEcR and RhUSP showed a wide time and tissue distribution profile. The data represent the mean ± SD of the experiment (10 ticks/time point) performed in triplicate and normalized to elongation factor 1-alpha (EF1α)
