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).
