Rhimi-CAP2bR relative transcript expression throughout Rhipicephalus microplus developmental stages by quantitative reverse-transcriptase PCR (qRT-PCR) analyses. Stages of development were: egg masses, neolarvae, nymph, male and female. The lowest expression was observed for eggs, and the relative Rhimi-CAP2bR abundance for this stage was used as the reference ratio (calibrator) for the fold change (FC) calculations. Different lowercase letters above histogram bars indicate significant difference at P < 0.05, based on statistical analysis using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by a Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. Eight (n = 8) biological replicates were analyzed per stage. Rhimi-CAP2bR, Rhipicephalus microplus periviscerokinin receptor
