Fig. 8: RNA-virome in D. gallinae mites.

a Identified viral segements and their respective gene abundances across libraries derived from individual developmental stages of D. gallinae. UP unfed protonymphs, FP fed protonymphs, FD fed deutonymphs. b Genome graphs depicting genome segments and predicted gene products of Red mite quaranjavirus 1. Black rectangles indicate ORFs coding sequences, grey rectangles predict proteins and light grey rectangles indicate coordinates of structural or functional domains. Abbreviations are described in the main text. (Right panel) Expression values for identified Red mite quaranjavirus segments. c Maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree based on the alignment of predicted PB1 and NP proteins of Red mite quaranjavirus 1 (asterisk) and related viruses. Branch labels represent FastTree support values. The scale bar represents substitutions per site.
