Article Synopsis
- Research on the resistance of the cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus to common acaricides in the Lower Amazon region is scarce.
- The study tested three acaricides (Amitraz, Cypermethrin, Deltamethrin) using a method where engorged female ticks were immersed in these substances, with results showing high larval hatching and low tick mortality rates.
- Findings indicated significant resistance to Cypermethrin and Deltamethrin, with Amitraz showing mild resistance; this study is the first to report acaricidal resistance in this region.
