Resumen
Varroa destructor, a´caro para´sito de la abeja Apis mellifera, constituye uno de los mayores problemas de la apicultura mundial. El control de dicha parasitosis, es altamente dependiente de la aplicacio´n de productos acaricidas de sı´ntesis. Sin embargo, el uso indiscriminado e incorrecto de estos principios activos ha producido una fuerte presio´n de seleccio´n sobre las diferentes poblaciones de a´caros y generado la aparicio´n de focos de resistencia en distintos lugares del mundo. En Uruguay, no existen antecedentes sobre poblaciones resistentes a la flumetrina. Altos niveles de infestacio´n con V. destructor se han detectado en colmenas del Departamento de Colonia, luego de tratamientos con flumetrina, por lo tanto el objetivo del presente estudio fue estimar la posible resistencia de una poblacio´n de V. destructor de Uruguay a la flumetrina. Adema´s, se estimaron los niveles de base de CL50 para la flumetrina en poblaciones susceptibles de V. destructor en Uruguay. Para la poblacio´n del Departamento de Colonia la CL50 para flumetrina fue de 3.8 μg/ca´psula, lo que significo´ un incremento de 34.5 veces cuando se comparo´ con los niveles de base de la CL50 correspondiente, indicando que se tratarı´a de una poblacio´n resistente a la flumetrina. Estos resultados representan el primer reporte de resistencia a la flumetrina en una poblacio´n de V. destructor de Uruguay.
Varroa destructor is the most serious parasitic mite that infests the honey bee Apis mellifera. Different treatments with systemic acaricides are applied to control, but due to the intensive use of these chemicals, resistance to organophosphates and pyrethroids has developed worldwide. Most of the resistance episodes have been registered for fluvalinate, and only in a few cases has flumethrin resistance been reported. In Uruguay, no studies on V. destructor resistance to flumethrin have yet been recorded. High infestation levels of V. destructor are continuously detected in colonies of A. mellifera after treatments with flumethrin. Hence, this study aimed to estimate the possible resistance to flumethrin of a V. destructor population from the Colonia Department. Furthermore, the LC50 baseline levels for flumethrin in twoUruguayan populations were determinated. The LC50 for flumethrin for the population from Colonia Department was 3.8 μg/Petri dish, which means an increase of 34.5 fold when compared to the corresponding baseline, suggesting the development of resistance. These results are the first report of resistance to flumethrin in V. destructor in Uruguay, and extend the knowledge of acaricide resistance in the country.
