Figure 2
Comparison of transcript expression of Ornithodoros hermsi immature stages across different feeding timepoints. Volcano plots displaying differentially expressed transcripts between pairwise comparisons of different blood feeding groups for (a) larval, (b) 1st-nymphal, and (c) 2nd-nymphal stages. Statistical difference was considered when a transcript presented log2 fold change (log2FC) ≥ ± 2 (vertical dotted lines) and false discovery rate (FDR) ≤ 0.05 (horizontal dotted lines). Numbers above the plots indicate the number of transcripts upregulated (red) or down-regulated (blue). Transcripts that were not considered differentially expressed are shown as gray dots.
