Effect of LsHSCARB knockdown. Top: mean egg string lengths (±SD) (a) and mean number of copepodids per mm egg string (±SD) (b) in control (dark grey) and LsHSCARB dsRNA treated (light grey) group (n = 19 for control and 12 for treated). Bottom: mean relative heme levels ( ± SD) (c). Mean total protein levels ( ± SD) (d) and adjusted heme levels to the amount of protein (±SD) (e) of lice from the control group (dark grey bars) compared to the LsHSCARB knockdown group (light grey bars) (n = 10). Asterisks indicate a significant difference between control and treated group. Ns: not significant, *: significant at p ≤ 0.05, **: p ≤ 0.01, ***: p ≤ 0.001.
