Repurposing isoxazoline insecticides to control <scp> <i>Varroa destructor</i> </scp> populations in honey bee colonies
These data suggest that fluralaner represents a potential candidate for V. destructor control in colonies due to its high toxicity to V. destructor and its relatively low toxicity to honey bees. Additionally, methodological details for electrophysiological recordings on V. destructor central nervous system (CNS) firing rates can be used to advance the development of new miticides. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
