Figure 6From: RNAi-mediated gene silencing in tick synganglia: A proof of concept studyRNAi-mediated silencing of β-Actin expression in female adult I. scapularis affects the ability of ticks to feed and lay eggs. A) Ticks injected with buffer (mock), B) irrelevant LacZ dsRNA and C) β-Actin-dsRNA were allowed to oviposit. D) Engorged tick female adults (N = 45 and N = 45, respectively) were recovered and weighed.Back to article page
