Abstract excerpt
Ticks are major ectoparasites of livestock in India, causing substantial economic losses and transmitting a wide range of pathogens. Control strategies rely heavily on synthetic pyrethroid acaricides; however, resistance associated with mutations in the voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) gene has been widely reported. Information on tick species diversity and molecular resistance status in Puducherry remains...
