摘要： The extensive utilization of second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARs) has raised concerns regarding non-target animal safety and environmental contamination. It is essential to assess the anticoagulant resistance level in rodent populations and prioritize the use of relative low toxic first-generation anticoagulant rodenticides (FGARs) in susceptible rodent populations. Mutations in the vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (Vkorc1) gene confer anticoagulant resistance in Norway rats. However, the Vkorc1 polymorphisms remain unclear in most Norway rat populations in China although anticoagulant rodenticides have been widely used in China since the 1980s. Analysis of the Vkorc1 polymorphisms in 489 rats across China, combined with in silico binding affinity analysis, revealed three potential resistance mutations A26T, C96Y, and A140T at three distinct locations. In the remaining locations, Vkorc1 resistance mutations were absent, indicating that the FGARs could be effective in these areas. Additional evolutionary analysis of different Vkorc1 mutations suggested that the resistance mutations in Europe are unlikely to be pre-existing variations in China. Further analysis of Vkorc1 haplotypes among European resistant rat populations is essential for understanding the origin of these resistance mutations. These findings emphasize the importance of customizing rodent control strategies in China based on regional resistance levels and gaining insights into the origins of Vkorc1 mutations for more effective rodent management strategies.
