Diagnostic performance of a Rapid Tick exposure Test (RaTexT®) to detect acaricide resistance in cattle ticks in East Africa
RaTexT<sup>®</sup> detected resistance to three different acaricidal classes in one-host and multi-host cattle ticks in East Africa. The test can differentiate between resistant and susceptible ticks and potentially become a useful decision-support tool for tick control management.
