In vivo visualization of Cy3 labeled β-Actin dsRNA: Labeled dsRNA was injected in the unfed adult female ticks and fed for 72 hrs on rabbit. 72 hrs fed ticks were dissected and synganglia were removed and visualized under confocal microscopy. A) light microscopic image of tick synganglia; B) Low infrared image showed a mesh of neurons; C-D) tick synganglia stained with DAPI showing neuronal nuclei, and superimposed image (arrows indicate nuclei labeling), E) Cy3 labeled dsRNA spread in the whole synganglia (10×) and F) 40× image (arrows indicate the spread of labeled dsRNA in the synganglia).
