Genotypic detection of synthetic pyrethroid and organophosphate resistance-associated mutations in Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus infesting ruminants across three agro-ecological zones in Pakistan.

Abstract excerpt

Acaricides are used to control ticks; however, their irrational use may lead to resistance, making tick control more difficult. This study aimed to determine the spatial distribution of ticks and detect genetic mutations associated with resistance to organophosphates (OPs) and synthetic pyrethroids (SPs) in Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus ticks in Punjab, Pakistan. Ticks were collected from livestock farms...
