Gene expression of apoptosis modulators in the midgut of A. sculptum ticks. The relative expression of IAP (Acaj-73060; a), apoptotic inhibitor 5 (Acaj-71920; b) and apoptotic regulators of the BCL-2 family (Acaj-59320 c and Acaj-73477 d) in the midgut of ticks fed for 72 h in relation to that in unfed ticks were calculated by the 2-ΔΔCt method. Asterisks indicate a significant difference at **P < 0.01
