From: Vector competence of Haemaphysalis longicornis ticks for a Japanese isolate of the Thogoto virus
Localization of the Thogoto virus (THOV) in the midgut (a,b) and salivary glands (c,d) of unfed adult ticks after infection via anal pore microinjection. Viral antigens were detected using a specific THOV polyclonal antibody (b,d), while normal mouse serum served as a control (a,c). Nuclear counterstaining (blue) was done using DAPI, and arrowheads denote THOV antigens (red) (bar = 20 μm). dc: digestive cells; ac: acinus.
