This test provides rapid pen-side results based on the exposure of partially engorged adult ticks to a specially designed acaricide-impregnated matrix. RaTexT® has been utilized in Brazil, where it identified resistance to deltamethrin in both laboratory colonies and field strains of Rhipicephalus microplus.

Each RaTexT box contains six rows of four interconnected compartments in which semi-engorged adult ticks are exposed to an acaricide-impregnated matrix. A seventh row of four interconnected compartments without an impregnated matrix is used to transport fully engorged ticks from the same farm to a laboratory where, approximately six weeks later, the RIT can be performed to test the larval progeny of the ticks.
