Venn diagram showing the number of shared orthologs in the Rhipicephalus microplus saliva proteome based on reciprocal best hits. The comparison is made with proteins identified in saliva of other tick species, including A Amblyomma americanum tick cement cone [6], B A. americanum saliva collected every 24 h for 8 days [7], C A. americanum saliva of tick exposed to different hosts [32], D A. sculptum saliva collected from unfed and partially fed ticks [33], E Haemaphysalis longicornis saliva collected from nymph and adult females [8], F Ixodes scapularis saliva collected from Borrelia burgdorferi-infected nymphs [34], G Ixodes scapularis tick cement cone [35], H I. scapularis tick saliva collected every 24 h for 5 days [31], I I. scapularis saliva of tick exposed to different hosts [32], J Ornithodoros moubata female and male saliva [30], and K R. microplus partially engorged female and fully engorged female saliva [9]
