Abstract excerpt
Varroa destructor is widely recognized as a significant contributor to colony collapse disorder. Chemical acaricides, such as amitraz, have been extensively used for Varroa control due to their selectivity within beehives. However, the increasing number of cases of amitraz resistance across global V. destructor populations poses a significant challenge. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive molecular...
