Strategies for the control of Rhipicephalus microplus ticks in a world of conventional acaricide and macrocyclic lactone resistance [PDF]
Infestations with the cattle tick, Rhipicephalus microplus, constitute the most important ectoparasite problem for cattle production in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide, resulting in major economic losses. The control of R.

The relative contribution of target-site mutations in complex acaricide resistant phenotypes as assessed by marker assisted backcrossing in Tetranychus urticae [PDF]
The mechanisms underlying insecticide and acaricide resistance in insects and mites are often complex, including additive effects of target-site insensitivity, increased metabolism and transport.

Acaricide Evaluation, 1993 [PDF]
Abstract This experiment was conducted in a one third acre block of 8-yr-old ‘Redchief’ trees on M26, which measured 13.5 ft. in height and 9 ft. in width and were planted 10 × 15 ft. apart. The experimental design consisted of 4 single-tree plots in a randomized block design, with each replicate surrounded by at least one unsprayed tree

Integrated resistance management for acaricide use on Varroa destructor
The global beekeeping industry faces an escalating challenge in the form of Varroa destructor. Synthetic chemicals serve as a cornerstone for varroa management, although they face a major challenge in the form of acaricide resistance.

Acaricides Resistance in Ticks: Selection, Diagnosis, Mechanisms, and Mitigation
Ticks are blood-feeding ecto-parasites that have a cosmopolitan distribution in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Ticks cause economic losses in the form of reduced blood, meat and dairy products, as well as pathogen transmission.

Cost-Effectiveness of Acaricide Application Methods against Heartwater Disease in South Africa
In an economic sense, heartwater disease is the most important tick-borne disease faced by South African livestock farmers. Methods to control the disease vary among farmers, and the preferred method depends on the prevalence of the disease in a specific

Surveillance of synthetic acaricide efficacy against Varroa destructor in Ontario, Canada
The parasitic mite Varroa destructor (Mesostigmata: Varroidae) is the main culprit of honey bee (Hymenoptera: Apidae) colony mortality in Ontario, Canada. Most beekeepers use synthetic acaricides to control V.

Long‐term monitoring of lipophilic acaricide residues in commercial Swiss beeswax
BACKGROUND A national survey on pesticides in recycled beeswax originating from beekeeping has been conducted in Switzerland for almost three decades. It allowed obtaining a good overview of the lipophilic products used for beekeeping within the last 30 ...
