RRAC Seminar: ADVANCES IN ANTICOAGULANT RODENTICIDE RESISTANCE RESEARCH
نویسندگان
چکیده
Knowledge on anticoagulant resistance has made considerable progress during recent years, due in particular to the investigation of the genetic basis of the enzyme-complex involved, and the introduction of new test methods. The Rodenticide Resistance Action Committee (RRAC) of CropLife International therefore invited leading scientists from six countries to a seminar with the objective to review current results of genetic research with special regard to the expression of resistance in wild rodents.

Anticoagulant resistance in rodents
Current issues in rodenticide anticoagulant resistance testing are reviewed. Research and management issues for New Zealand agencies include: 1. Assessing and monitoring the spread of resistance. 2. Standardising and improving resistance-testing techniques. 3. Identifying from the range of tests that have been developed for assessing rodenticide resistance which is the best to use. 4. Developin...
متن کاملDistribution of anticoagulant rodenticide resistance in Rattus norvegicus in the Netherlands according to Vkorc1 mutations
BACKGROUND Rodenticide resistance to anticoagulants in Rattus norvegicus will lead to increased difficulties in combating these pest animals. Here, the authors present the results of a survey in the Netherlands where tissue samples and droppings were tested using a newly developed TaqMan PCR test for genotypic variation at codon 139 in the Vkorc1 gene associated with anticoagulant rodenticide r...
متن کاملBromethalin—a Promising New Rodenticide
Bromethalin is a unique highly potent rodenticide exhibiting a mode of action different from anticoagulant rodenticides. Bromethalin provides a lethal dose to rodents in a single feeding with death generally delayed two to three days. Rodents do not discriminate against bromethalin bait; therefore, excellent bait acceptance is achieved with no prebaiting. Field studies have shown bromethalin ba...
متن کاملResistance to the Second-generation Anticoagulant Rodenticides
The second-generation anticoagulants, difenacoum, bromadiolone and brodifacoum, have taken over a considerable part of the rodenticidal market during the last six to eight years. This is partly due to the higher efficiency against a larger spectrum of rodent pest species and partly to the increasing problem of physiological resistance to the older anticoagulants. Resistance of practical importa...
متن کاملField evaluation of difethialone, a new second generation anticoagulant rodenticide in the rice fields.
A new second generation anticoagulant rodenticide, difethialone (0.0025%), was evaluated in the rice fields at three different cropping stages, viz. Milky, Panicle formation and Panicle maturation, during Kuruvai and Thaladi seasons. The difethailone (0.0025%) yielded satisfactory control success suggesting a great potential as a rodenticide especially in the early stages of rice.
