Figure 2

Engorgement (a) and oviposition (b) rates of adult Hyalomma fed in vivo and in vitro. Asterisks indicate level of significance using Z-test (P < 0.01 (**), n.s = non-significant, # for Hyalomma scupense fed in winter, only one engorged tick laid eggs and the oviposition rate was not calculated. H. scupense S = Hyalomma scupense fed in summer (S); H. scupense W = Hyalomma scupense fed in winter (W). Engorgement rate (%) = (number of engorged females/numbers of initially placed ticks) *100; Oviposition rate (%) = (number of females laying eggs/number of engorged females) *100.
