Southern cattle tick resistance to pour-on and injectable acaricides has yet to be evaluated on a broader scope, and the paucity of information on the subject may hinder efforts to control this parasite. The objective of this study was to evaluate the resistance profile of ten populations of Rhipicephalus microplus to the acaricides fluazuron, fipronil and ivermectin in cattle herds in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The larval immersion test (LIT) was used to evaluate susceptibility to ivermectin and fipronil and the adult immersion test (AIT) was performed to evaluate fluazuron. Samples were randomly obtained in ten farms, and in general, we found resistance in five samples to fluazuron and in four samples to ivermectin and fipronil. Six samples showed incipient resistance to ivermectin and fipronil. Five of the ten evaluated samples showed resistance and/or incipient resistance to all the active ingredients, and the other five to two active ingredients. Among the samples classified as resistant, the average resistance ratio for ivermectin was 2.75 and 3.26 for fipronil. These results demonstrate the advanced status of resistance to the most modern chemical groups for the control of R. microplus in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul.

Article Synopsis
- * A study in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, revealed that 98% of cattle farms had ticks resistant to multiple acaricides, with 71% of samples resistant to all six tested compounds.
- * Factors such as the use of injectable acaricides, frequent treatments, and larger herd sizes were linked to increased resistance rates, indicating a serious challenge for effective tick management.

Article Synopsis
- First report identifies high pesticide tolerance in microbiota from high-altitude lakes in the Himalayas, suggesting potential contamination despite their remote location.
- *Microbial testing revealed tolerance to various pesticides, with resistance up to 250 mg/ml, indicating repeated exposure likely from nearby agricultural areas.
- *Findings emphasize the ecological risks posed by pesticide contamination to wildlife and local cultural beliefs surrounding these sacred lakes, highlighting the need for monitoring of such environments.*

Diamondback moth (DBM, Plutella xylostella) is the most significant pest of cruciferous vegetables as they rapidly develop high-level resistance to many insecticides. Monitoring DBM susceptibility and target-site mutation frequency is essential for pest control. In this study, 10 insecticides were tested on 11 field populations.

Through a collaborative effort across six Sub-Saharan African countries, using recognized international assessment techniques, 23 stocks of three tick species (Rhipicephalus microplus, Rhipicephalus appendiculatus and Amblyomma variegatum) of economic importance for rural small holder farming communities from East and West Africa were collected from cattle, and evaluated in in vitro larval packet tests (LPT). The results demonstrated medium to high resistance to chlorfenvinphos and amitraz across species. Rhipicephalus microplus demonstrated high level alpha-cypermethrin and cypermethrin resistance.
