Acaricide (Chemical) Resistance in Cattle Ticks
نویسنده
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Like all living things, cattle ticks have the ability to overcome adversity in order to survive. They can adapt genetically over time so that they and their offspring build up resistance to the normal tick treatments used. This is known as tick acaricide (chemical) resistance. The prolonged or incorrect use of tick chemicals can lead to resistance in ticks, enabling the ticks to tolerate and survive chemical applications.

Chemical control of ticks on cattle and the resistance of these parasites to acaricides.
Toward the end of the nineteenth century a complex of problems related to ticks and tick-borne diseases of cattle created a demand for methods to control ticks and reduce losses of cattle. The discovery and use of arsenical solutions in dipping vats for treating cattle to protect them against ticks revolutionized tick and tick-borne disease control programmes. Arsenic dips for cattle were used ...

Acaricide resistance has become widespread in countries where cattle ticks, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, are a problem. Resistance arises through genetic changes in a cattle tick population that causes modifications to the target site, increased metabolism or sequestration of the acaricide, or reduced ability of the acaricide to penetrate through the outer protective layers of the tick’...
متن کاملThe extent of acaricide resistance in 1-, 2- and 3-host ticks on communally grazed cattle in the eastern region of the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa.
In order to determine the extent of acaricide resistance in the eastern region of the Eastern Cape Province 1-, 2- and 3-host ticks were collected from cattle at 59 dip-tanks over a period of 2 years. These ticks were tested for resistance against 3 compounds, namely amitraz, cypermethrin and chlorfenvinphos. The Shaw Larval Immersion Test detected emerging resistance to amitraz in Rhipicephalu...
