Replete females that fed on an infected calf weighed approximately 0.075 g less than control ticks (linear mixed-effect model; F1,74 = 168, P < 0.0001). Significant differences are denoted by * < 0.05, ** < 0.01, and *** P < 0.001. Extending lines represent the 25th to 75th percentiles of the data. Points beyond are considered outliers
