Fig. 4From: Vaccination of cattle with synthetic peptides corresponding to predicted extracellular domains of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus aquaporin 2 reduced the number of ticks feeding to repletionBar graphs showing average tick numbers and weights for three control versus three vaccinated cattle over the 6 days replete ticks dropped, which were days 20–25 after the larvae were applied. a Average numbers of replete ticks dropping per calf per day; b average weight of replete ticks in grams per day. Ticks remaining attached on the 7th day were not weighed. Blue bars = control (unvaccinated), red bars = vaccinated. Error bars = standard error of the meanBack to article page
