The ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor remains a great threat for the beekeeping industry, example contributing to excessive winter colony loss in Canada. For decades, beekeepers have sequentially used registered synthetic varroacides tau-fluvalinate, coumaphos, amitraz, and flumethrin, leading risk of resistance evolution mites. In addition widespread coumaphos pyrethroids, decline amitraz efficacy has recently been reported numerous regions goals this study were assess Canadian...
Abstract BACKGROUND The parasitic mite, Varroa destructor (Anderson and Trueman), is a leading cause of honey bee colony losses around the world. Application miticides such as amitraz are often primary method control in commercial beekeeping operations United States. It likely that excessive exclusive application has led to development resistance . A mutation tyrosine at amino acid position 215 histidine (Y215H) β 2 ‐octopamine receptor was identified putatively amitraz‐resistant This...
Abstract Varroa destructor is considered a major reason for high loss rate of Western honey bee ( Apis mellifera ) colonies. To prevent colony losses caused by V. destructor, it necessary to actively manage the mite population. Beekeepers, particularly commercial beekeepers, have few alternative treatments other than synthetic acaricides control parasite, resulting in intensive treatment regimens that led evolution resistance populations. investigate mechanism amitraz detected mites from...
Abstract BACKGROUND The acaricide amitraz is now used intensively in many regions to control the honey bee parasite, Varroa destructor , because of reduced efficacy pyrethroids and coumaphos caused by resistance evolution. continued application recent years exerts a very high selection pressure on mites, favouring evolution this acaricide. Mutations N87S Y215H β2‐adrenergic‐like octopamine receptor (Octβ2R), target site amitraz, have been already associated with France USA, respectively....
