RmVgR dsRNA affected production of normal tick eggs. a Tick eggs diameter changed due to RmVgR silencing. b Individual egg measurement from the treatment groups. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences: t(60) = 98.5, P < 0.0001 (RmVgR-dsRNA-injected group vs buffer-injected group); and t(60) = 29.3, P < 0.0001 (RmVgR-dsRNA-injected group vs non-injected group)
