The effect of selection pressure on the genotype and phenotype of acaricide resistance in Phipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus

Acaricides have played a pivotal role in the control of the tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus. As a consequence of extensive use, R. (B.) microplus has developed resistance to all major classes of acaricides, especially to pyrethroids. The thesis describes field and laboratory research undert...
