Impact of anti-microbiota vaccine on tick performance and B. afzelii development in infected ticks. a The percentage of ticks that dropped naturally after feeding, b the percentage of larvae molting into nymphs up to day 48, c the percentage of dead larvae, and d the load of spirochetes of B. afzelii were calculated and compared among the different experimental conditions. Each dot represents one mouse infested with 100 larvae. Means and standard deviation values are displayed. PBS + B. afzelii, n = 100 larvae/mouse; E. coli + B. afzelii, n = 100 larvae/mouse, n = 9–10 mice/condition. Mann–Whitney test, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01
