Resumen:
BACKGROUND. Rodents are major pests in many agricultural systems, where they can cause significant economic losses, and involve a sanitary risk. The application of anticoagulant rodenticides to rodent control showed a decrease in effectiveness through time because of the development of resistant populations and the development of aversion behaviours. The goal of the present study was to test the susceptibility to bromadiolone and the existence of anticoagulant resistance in Mus musculus (house - mice ) in Argentina. We conducted a feeding test with wild animals captured in poultry farms and a laboratory strain which were fed with bromadiolone bait. RESULTS. Three animals of the field experimental group survived along the 21 days study period, while for laboratory animals mortality was 100%. Control field animals which were fed without anticoagulant showed 100 % survival. CONCLUSION: We found evidences of the presence of anticoagulant resistant M. musculus in the study area.
