Genetic mutations in sodium channel domain II and carboxylesterase genes associated with phenotypic resistance against synthetic pyrethroids by Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) decoloratus ticks in Uganda.

Abstract excerpt

We previously reported emergence of super synthetic pyrethroid (SP) resistant Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) decoloratus ticks in Uganda. This study investigated the genetic basis of phenotypic resistance against SP in R. (B.) decoloratus and sought to identify novel diagnostic mutations for rapid detection of SP resistance in the above tick species. Genomic DNA was extracted from pooled larvae of 20 tick populations...
