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.
Tick-borne pathogens (TBP) are responsible for significant economic losses to cattle production, globally. This is particularly true in countries like India where TBP constrain rearing of high yielding Bos taurus, as they show susceptibility to acute tick borne disease (TBD), most notably tropical theileriosis caused by Theileria annulata. This has led to a programme of cross breeding Bos taurus (Holstein-Friesian or Jersey) with native Bos indicus (numerous) breeds to generate cattle that are more resistant to disease.
