RaTexT® Cypermethrin Resistance Bioassay for Ticks | 10-Box Batch

RaTexT® is a rapid pen-side test for detecting cypermethrin resistance in one-host cattle ticks. Each RaTexT box contains seven test strips. 

RaTexT can determine acaricide resistance using adult ticks, reducing the time from several months when tick larvae are used to less than 24 hours. In RaTexT, partly engorged adult ticks are confined to small compartments and exposed to an acaricide-impregnated, specially designed matrixer, which is removed immediately after from their hosts.

RaTexT was validated in Brazil and the first paper published in Parasites and Vectors in August 2024:   https://rdcu.be/dSi47
