The isolates of Rhipicephalus microplus collected from Madhya Pradesh (MP), Punjab (PJB) and Uttar Pradesh (UP) states of India were characterized using laboratory standardized adult immersion test (AIT) against macrocyclic lactone (ivermectin), synthetic pyrethroids (cypermethrin and deltamethrin), organophosphates (coumaphos and diazinon) and phenylpyrazole compounds (fipronil). Out of the six isolates tested, five isolates except MTH were resistant to deltamethrin and cypermethrin at level II with RF ranging from 16.4 to 24.02 and 7.05 to 13.2, respectively. In case of organophosphates, coumaphos was less effective showing resistance level II (RF 8.52-11.2) in all the six populations compared with diazinon to which three isolates (MHW, RWA and AGS) were resistant at level II. Except MTH, other five isolates were categorized at level I with RF ranging from 1.53 to 3.02 against ivermectin. The phenylpyrazole compound however was found effective, and none of the isolates could survive at a discriminating concentration. The possible strategy for the management of multi-acaricide-resistant ticks in the surveyed districts was discussed in the present study.
