Point mutations in the sodium channel gene conferring tau‐fluvalinate resistance in <i>Varroa destructor</i>

Abstract

All individuals that survived the tau-fluvalinate treatment in the bioassay harboured the L(1002) → V mutation combined with the F(1052), while dead individuals from both the sensitive and resistant populations harboured mostly the L(1002) residue and either of the two residues at position 1052.
