A key research question that has an appreciable bearing on our future management of this pest relates to the way in which resistance has evolved in the Redlegged Earth Mite.\n\nHas resistance in RLEM evolved time and time again at a local scale, or has one mutation spread widely to confer resistance to mites in other regions? \n\nIn this podcast Professor Ary Hoffman from the University of Melbourne reveals DNA technology has enabled researchers to make great advances in understanding the Redlegged Earth Mite and how resistance to pesticides has evolved. \n\nContact: \nNick Bell | Research manager to Prof Ary Hoffmann Pest & Environmental Adaptation Research Group\nT: +61 3 9035 6780 \nM: 0466 945 922 \nE: belln@unimelb.edu.au \n\nResources: \nhttps://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=8&ved=2ahUKEwi58ZmL8IvmAhWEbisKHfXUBnEQFjAHegQIBRAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fgrdc.com.au%2Farchive%2Fkey-issues%2Fprevent-redlegged-earth-mite-resistance&usg=AOvVaw2Xu5KY8zZ98PUGZ-d7O1Q1 \n\nhttps://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=6&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiMl9fQ8IvmAhVOSX0KHU0RAMIQFjAFegQIChAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fgrdc.com.au%2Fresources-and-publications%2Fall-publications%2Ffactsheets%2F2018%2F06%2Fresistance-management-strategy-for-the-redlegged-earth-mite-in-australian-grains-and-pastures&usg=AOvVaw1Mh37wc7Pnxlr2GXH7lqMM Redlegged earth mite \u2013 PestNote: http://www.cesaraustralia.com/sustainable-agriculture/pestnotes/insect/redlegged-earth-mite\nLearn more about your ad choices.
