There are THREE ways bugs can be become resistant:
1). less penetration, letting less to reach the inside,
2). degradation (P450, esterases etc), destroying the chemical before it
reaches the target, and
3). target -site alternation (my old post).
My post last time was only toward Lloyds original post. If a bug uses 1 or
2, they can be "cross-resistant" to two or more chemicals. However
some people consider them to be "tolerant" only unless the bug has #3
as a mechanism.
There is no scientific evidence (yet) that the fluvalinate-resistant mites
are also coumaphos resistant, aside from anecdotal evidence.
