Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the resistance of Rhipicephalus microplus ticks in Maharashtra, India, to synthetic pyrethroids, cypermethrin and deltamethrin, revealing all isolates tested were resistant to deltamethrin, with varying resistance levels across different regions.
- It found significant increases in the activity of α- and β-esterase enzymes in treated larvae, suggesting a biochemical response to these insecticides, with specific isolates showing notably high enzyme activity after exposure.
- The findings indicate that both deltamethrin and cypermethrin are ineffective for tick control in the region, prompting recommendations for stricter regulation of these compounds and the development of alternative tick control strategies.
