Resistance to Cypermethrin Is Widespread in Cattle Ticks () in the Province of Punjab, Pakistan: In Vitro Diagnosis of Acaricide Resistance.

Control of the cattle tick () mainly relies on chemical acaricides and cypermethrin is the most widely used acaricide in Pakistan. Farmers frequently complain about its low efficacy, thus, the present study was designed to quantify the frequency of cypermethrin resistance in cattle ticks. Engorged female were collected and tested for the efficacy of cypermethrin using the FAO-recommended larval packet test.
