Effects of lithium chloride on queen egg-laying performance and worker honey bee behavior. [PDF]
Chronic oral lithium chloride (LiCl) exposure effectively increases Varroa mite mortality without impairing queen egg laying or brood care behaviors, while significantly reducing worker bee aggression, suggesting its potential for safe Varroa management and mitigating colony aggression.

Identification of a novel ß-adrenergic octopamine receptor-like gene (ßAOR-like) and increased ATP-binding cassette B10 (ABCB10) expression in a Rhipicephalus microplus cell line derived from acaricide-resistant ticks [PDF]
Background: The cattle tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus is an economically important parasite of livestock. Effective control of ticks using acaricides is threatened by the emergence of resistance to many existing compounds. Several continuous R.

A new mutation in the octopamine receptor associated with amitraz resistance in Varroa destructor. [PDF]
A new mutation (F290L) in the octopamine β2 receptor of Varroa destructor mites from Spanish apiaries has been identified. The L290 allele frequency increased with repeated amitraz treatments. Mutant mites showed lower susceptibility to amitraz. Abstract BACKGROUND The acaricide amitraz is now used intensively in many regions to control the honey bee ...
