Abstract excerpt
This study examined the prevalence of pyrethroid resistance mutations in Varroa destructor (Anderson and Trueman 2000) populations across ten Turkish provinces, utilizing PCR-RFLP assay. By targeting codon 925 in the voltage-gated sodium channel (vgsc) gene, a recognized site for knockdown resistance (kdr), we identified a notably high frequency of resistant alleles within the field populations. Among the 800...
