Project description:Coumaphos is an acaricide that is widely used to control Varroa mites in bee colonies. However, the extensive use of coumaphos against Varroa has resulted in the development of coumaphos resistant Varroa populations. In this study, the whole genome gene expression profile of 1) a coumaphos resistant V. destructor population (AN-CR) or 2) a coumaphos resistant V. destructor population pretreated with coumaphos (tAN-CR), was compared to the gene expression profile of a susceptible V. destructor population (ATH-S) using Illumina RNAseq.
