Abstract in Portuguese
Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus é o parasito de maior importância econômica para a produção bovina. Há suspeita de resistência disseminada a ivermectina (IVM), droga amplamente utilizada para seu controle e seu diagnóstico preciso se faz necessário. Neste trabalho foram padronizados testes diagnósticos in vitro que, ao serem aplicados a campo no Brasil, diagnosticaram a resistência em 18 de 30 populações testadas. A resistência in vitro foi confirmada por teste in vivo. Testes com sinergistas sobre cepa resistente isolada indicaram que a destoxificação enzimática tem papel secundário na resistência. Não foram encontradas mutações associadas à resistência no trecho analisado do gene GluCl. Informações obtidas sobre evolução da resistência a campo e em laboratório poderão ser úteis para o uso de IVM no controle de R. (B.) microplus. Os estudos conduzidos sobre mecanismos de resistência podem servir para o desenvolvimento de marcadores moleculares diagnósticos de resistência a IVM.

Microbial resistance to drugs
Abstract in English
Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus is the most economically important parasite for cattle production. There is suspicion of widespread resistance to ivermectin (IVM), a drug widely used for their control and being necessary its accurate diagnosis. In this study were standardized in vitro diagnostic tests that, when applied to the field in Brazil, diagnosed resistance in 18 of 30 populations tested. The in vitro resistance was confirmed by a field trial. Tests with synergists on an isolated resistant strain indicated that enzyme detoxification has a secondary role in resistance. There were no mutations associated with resistance in the analyzed fragment of the gene GluCl. Information obtained about the evolution of resistance in field and laboratory may be useful for the use of IVM in the control of R. (B.) microplus. The conducted studies on resistance mechanisms may serve for the development of diagnostic molecular markers of resistance to IVM.
