Situation on acaricide resistance in Brazil
• Several reports (especially summaries in Congress)• Main reports dealing with OP, SP, Amitraz and
mixtures OP/SP all over the country• Few cases with LMs (RS and SP)• No case of fluazuron and fipronil resistance was
published • Despite reports, many farms keep using these

Toxicological behavior of susceptibles and resistents strains of B. microplus to amitraz.
Amitraz granulated 75%
Physical, ChemicalBiological evaluation
Monthly Control of pH, concentration and biological efficacy
45 days after :
>Decrease pH, but keep acting
“in vitro”
Amitraz granulated 75%
-ph decreases to 8.0 – 8,5 in 30 days
-concentration remains above 150 ppm up 2 months
-sedimentation occurs rapidly
- “in vitro” efficacy up to 4 months
-after 6 months, amitraz was below 30 ppm
