Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the prevalence of anticoagulant resistance genotypes in brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) and black rats (Rattus rattus) in Barcelona, assessing the impact of control methods involving rodenticides.
- Sampling occurred during periods when different anticoagulant rodenticides were used, revealing no evidence of resistance in the rats based on genetic analysis of the Vkorc1 gene.
- The findings suggest that the current rodent management practices, including rotating anticoagulants and using traps, are effective in preventing resistance; however, future efforts should expand the variety of control measures used.
