Mutations of voltage-gated sodium channel contribute to pyrethroid resistance in Panonychus citri.

Insecticide resistance in Panonychus citri is a major obstacle to mite control in citrus orchards. Pyrethroid insecticides are continually used to control mites in China, although resistance to pyrethroids has evolved in some populations. Here, the resistance to the pyrethroid fenpropathrin was investigated and 7 out of 8 field-collected populations of P.

Sublethal and transgenerational effects of pyridaben exposure on the fitness and gene expression of Panonychus citri.

Background: Panonychus citri is a globally dominant citrus plant pest mite. Pesticide-induced population resurgence is a concern for mite control. Exposure to sublethal concentrations of pesticides has stimulated reproduction and outbreak risks in many pests.

Resistance of Panonychus citri (McGregor) (Acari: Tetranychidae) to pyridaben in China: monitoring and fitness costs.

Background: Panonychus citri is a major citrus pest worldwide. The short life cycle and high reproductive potential of P. citri, combined with heavy acaricide use, have led to high levels of resistance to acaricides, posing a threat to global resistance management programs.
