From: Borrelia burgdorferi infection modifies protein content in saliva of Ixodes scapularis nymphs
Borrelia burgdorferi infection of Ixodes scapularis nymphs induces secretion of a high number of tick saliva proteins. Total numbers of tick saliva proteins identified at each tick feeding time point (unfed, 12h, 24h, 36h, 48h, 60h, 72h, and fully engorged [SD]) were enumerated. Green, Yellow, and Purple circles = the number of tick saliva proteins respectively identified in uninfected (UI), Borrelia burgdorferi infected (Bbinf), and found in both
