A study conducted by researchers at Kitasato University in Japan examined the sensitivity of black rats to the rodenticide diphacinone in the Bonin Archipelago. The researchers found that the Bonin rats exhibited a reduced sensitivity to the rodenticide compared to susceptible black rats, despite not having any known resistance mechanisms. The study emphasized the importance of monitoring biological levels to accurately evaluate rodenticide sensitivity. The research was supported by the Ministry of the Environment, Japan, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan (MEXT), and Simulation Plus, Inc.
