| Popis: | Strains of the cattle tick resistant to organophosphorus compounds were first found at Ridgelands in central Queensland in 1963 (Shaw and Malcolm 1964; Shaw 1966; Roulston, Stone, Wilson, and White 1968). Resistance of a different type was subsequently found at Biarra in south-eastern Queensland in 1966 (Roulston and Wharton 1967; Wharton 1967; Shaw, Cook, and Carson 1968). Ridgelands and Biarra strains of ticks both exhibit resistance to a wide range of organophosphorus and carbamate chemicals but differ in that resistance levels are higher and resistance extends to a wider range of chemicals in the Biarra strain. Biochemical investigations have shown that resistance in both strains is due to the presence of an acetylcholin-esterase system which is relatively insensitive to inhibition by organophosphorus chemicals (Lee and Batham 1966; Roulston, Schnitzerling, and Schuntner 1968; Schuntner, Roulston, and Schnitzerling 1968) |
