Table 1. Correlation between phenotypic (LPT) and genotypic (sequencing) amitraz resistance status.

Larvae that survived LPT a
Sample RF of strain c Genotype d Phenotype
5AM2(4)A2 100 CC/CC Amitraz Resistant
5AM2(4)A3 100 CC/CC Amitraz Resistant
5AM3(8)A1 100 CC/CC Amitraz Resistant
5AM3(8)A3 100 CC/CC Amitraz Resistant
3AM2(4)A3 100 CC/CC Amitraz Resistant
2AM3(16)A3 28 CC/CC Amitraz Resistant
1AM3(8)A3 10 CC/CC Amitraz Resistant
Larvae that did not survive LPTs b
Sample RF of strain c Genotype d Phenotype
2AM3(16)A1 28 AA/TT Amitraz susceptible
2AM3(16)A2 28 AA/TT Amitraz susceptible
1AM3(8)A2 10 AA/TT Amitraz susceptible
1AM3(8)A3 10 AA/TT Amitraz susceptible
1AM3(8)A1 10 AC/TC Amitraz susceptible
1AM3(16)A1 10 AC/TC Amitraz susceptible

Discriminating dose of amitraz used was 250 ppm.

a Larvae that were alive after the larval packet test assay was completed, meaning they were resistant to the amitraz concentrations applied.

b Larvae that were susceptible to the concentrations of amitraz used and were dead after the assay was completed.

c RF is the resistance factor, a RF of 100 implies that the strain is amitraz resistant. RF of 10 and 28 means the strain is susceptible to amitraz.

d Genotype was inferred based on whether or not the sequenced larvae contained the two SNPs published by Chen, He (26). CC/CC – all four alleles are resistant (homozygous resistant), AA/TT – all four alleles are the wild type alleles (homozygous susceptible), AC/TC – at both SNP positions both the wild type and mutant alleles are present (heterozygous).
