Anticoagulant resistance has been present in Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus) in Hampshire and Berkshire for forty years. All first-generation anticoagulants and two of the second generation, bromadiolone and difenacoum, are resisted by rats carrying the L120Q single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). A regulatory restriction on the use of resistance-br...
SUMMARY
1. The status of anticoagulant resistance in the UK is unique in several ways. Most importantly, more than fifty years of continuous research into this phenomenon, both in Norway rats and house mice, has provided an extensive platform of knowledge upon which to base practical advice on anticoagulant use and recommendations on resistance ma...

Most importantly, more than fifty years of continuous research into this phenomenon, both in Norway rats and house mice, has provided an extensive platform of knowledge upon which to base practical advice on anticoagulant use and recommendations on resistance management....
Historically, practical resistance to anticoagulants in Norway rats (indicated by the inability to control populations with anticoagulant rodenticides) has been reported across much of the UK, with different types of resistance resulting from mutations of a single dominant autosomal gene. In early studies, resistance was confirmed in the laboratory...
Indirect survey methods are often used in studies of mammals but are susceptible to biases caused by failure to detect species where they are present. Occupancy analysis is an analytical technique which enables non-detection rates to be estimated and which can be used to develop and refine novel survey methods. In this study, we investigated the us...
