Percentage of larvae that successfully hatched. A More control offspring hatched compared to females that fed on an infected calf. Significant differences are denoted by * < 0.05, ** < 0.01, and *** P < 0.001. B Hatch percentages varied when offspring were separated based on the infection category of their corresponding maternal tick. Boxes with different letters are significantly different from each other (P < 0.05). Extending lines represent the 25th to 75th percentiles of the data. Points beyond are considered outliers
