Fig. 4

Alpha diversity for 16S rRNA OTU data from tick organs collected from engorged and flat ticks, calculated as the Chao1 (left) and Shannon (right) measures using phyloseq in R. Data from a set of whole ticks from the previous study (Fig. 1) are included for comparison. Diversity is higher in all organ categories compared to whole ticks and particularly high in certain organs from engorged ticks
