Chemical Resistance To Acaricides
Acaricides are pesticides that kill members of the Acari group, which includes ticks and mites. Acaricides were at one point in time an effective method in regulating the transmission of V. jacobsoni in honey bees; however, the build of residues in resistant-strains to acaricides have decreased the effectiveness of mite control in honey bees. Among those acaricides used are acrinathrin, amitraz, bromopropylate, chlordimeform, coumaphos, flumethrin and fluvalinate. Fluvalinate is the most effective acaricide.

Famous quotes containing the words chemical and/or resistance:
“We are close to dead. There are faces and bodies like gorged maggots on the dance floor, on the highway, in the city, in the stadium; they are a host of chemical machines who swallow the product of chemical factories, aspirin, preservatives, stimulant, relaxant, and breathe out their chemical wastes into a polluted air. The sense of a long last night over civilization is back again.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“War is pillage versus resistance and if illusions of magnitude could be transmuted into ideals of magnanimity, peace might be realized.”
—Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
