A new mutation in the octopamine receptor associated with amitraz resistance in Varroa destructor
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 ...
