Figure 4

Results of temperature, packed cell volume (PCV) and Babesia bovis parasitemia of calves used to feed the Bm86 silenced ticks and control ticks. Panel A and B show the experimental conditions of experiment one and two, respectively. The upper right chart in the panels A and B show the results of parasitemia of B. bovis in peripheral blood of calves of experiment one and two, respectively. Arrows highlight the difference between experiment one and two and indicate the beginning (arrows down) and end (arrows up) of tick feeding period.
