Snapback high resolution melting analysis for the rapid detection and differentiation of the L925 mutations associated with resistance to synthetic pyrethroids in Varroa destructor.

Abstract excerpt

The honey bee parasite Varroa destructor is the major cause of colony loss in many countries, including New Zealand. Reports of less successful treatment schedules with synthetic pyrethroids are raising concerns of treatment failure due to genetic resistance to the pyrethroids arising in the mites. Here we describe an inexpensive, single-tube, and rapid detection method to both detect and differentiate the three...
