A point mutation in the β‐adrenergic‐like octopamine receptor: possible association with amitraz resistance
20 May 2020
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Amitraz is a unique formamidine-class acaricide/insecticide that effectively controls ticks, mites, and insect pests. However, the recent emergence of amitraz-resistant cattle ticks is a serious problem that requires an urgent solution. A nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphism (A181T) leading to an amino acid substitution (I61F) in the β-adrenergic-like (β-AL) octopamine receptor (OAR) of...
