Resistance phenomena to amitraz from populations of the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor of Argentina

In Argentina, Varroa destructor resistance to coumaphos has been previously reported. However, the status of mite susceptibility to other hard acaricides is still unknown. At present, high infestation levels of V. destructor are being detected in colonies of Apis mellifera after treatment with amitr...
