Abstract:

To manage defoliation from insect outbreaks, about half of the forested land in New Brunswick, Canada, was treated with dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) between 1952 and 1968. Aerial applications of DDT have thus likely increased the risk of chronic effects in aquatic ecosystems from this legacy insecticide given its high persistence in soil and sediments and its bioaccumulation potential within the food web. We investigated DDT and its metabolites (total ΣDDTs = ∑ DDT + ∑ DDD + ∑ DDE) in Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) associated with geospatial data of historical applications to lak

Abstract:

Global efforts to control Aedes mosquito-transmitted pathogens still rely heavily on insecticides. However, available information on vector resistance is mainly restricted to mosquito populations located in residential and public areas, whereas commercial settings, such as hotels are overlooked. This may obscure the real magnitude of the insecticide resistance problem and lead to ineffective vector control and resistance management. We investigated the profile of insecticide susceptibility of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes occurring at selected hotel compounds on Zanzibar Island. At least 100 adults

Abstract:

Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, published just more than 60 years ago, outlined how the indiscriminate use of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), a potent, environmentally persistent insecticide, was damaging the world’s ecosystems, animals, and food supply. There were many other chemicals more persistent than DDT accumulating in the environment when Carson was writing, including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). While man-made, PFAS were not intended to cause harm, contrary to pesticides such as DDT. Today, ambient PFAS levels are contaminating rain, soil, and dri

Abstract:

DDT is a persistent insecticide that was widely used in the world from the 1940s until the 70s, when it was banned in the United States and other countries. Most of its toxic effects are not observed in the acute forms, but particularly after chronic exposure. These long-term issues include reproductive effects, varying according to the time of life in which the individuals were exposed. The aims of the current study were to review the principal toxicological effects of DDT on reproduction, stratifying by physiological periods of exposure, and based on the magnitude of these effects, to discus

Initially, India applied DDT with stirrup pumps for IRS, however, this did not reduce transmission.

However, repeated use of the same insecticide with increasing doses potentially can create high selection pressure and lead to tolerance and resistance development.

Abstract:

Background Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is targeted for elimination as a public health problem in Nepal by 2023. For nearly three decades, the core vector control intervention in Nepal has been indoor residual spraying (IRS) with pyrethroids. Considering the long-term use of pyrethroids and the possible development of resistance of the vector Phlebotomus argentipes sand flies, we monitored the susceptibility status of their field populations to the insecticides of different classes, in villages with and without IRS activities in recent years.

Abstract:

Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS) is one of the interventions to control the vectors of Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL). Different insecticides are used in affected countries, also in the Regional Initiative for the Elimination of VL in South-East Asia. This systematic review assesses all available studies analysing the effectiveness of IRS on the key vectors of VL. The systematic review followed PRISMA guidelines, with a broad search strategy, applied to seven key databases. Inclusion criteria were studies focusing on 1) Visceral leishmaniasis 2) Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS) or synonyms, and 3) al

Abstract:

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which starts with liver steatosis, is a growing worldwide epidemic responsible for chronic liver diseases. Among its risk factors, exposure to environmental contaminants, such as endocrine disrupting compounds (EDC), has been recently emphasized. Given this important public health concern, regulation agencies need novel simple and fast biological tests to evaluate chemical risks. In this context, we developed a new in vivo bioassay called StAZ (Steatogenic Assay on Zebrafish) using an alternative model to animal experimentation, the zebrafish larva, t

Abstract:

Evaluating the susceptibility of malaria vectors to the new WHO-recommended products is a key step before large-scale deployment. We mapped the susceptibility profile of Anopheles funestus to neonicotinoids across Africa and established the diagnostic doses of acetamiprid and imidacloprid with acetone + MERO as solvent. Indoor resting An. funestus were collected in 2021 in Cameroon, Malawi, Ghana and Uganda. Susceptibility to clothianidin, imidacloprid and acetamiprid was evaluated using CDC bottle assays and offsprings of the field-caught adults. The L119F-GSTe2 marker was genotyped to assess

Abstract:

Pesticides are considered as a savior of farmers in the implementation of agricultural cultivation. The practical and effective nature of using pesticides makes it easier for farmers to eradicate plant pests. The existence of a synthetic insecticide, namely DDT (Dichoro Diphenyl Trichlorethane), became a revolution in pest control techniques, which rely on the use of pesticides. Pesticides can increase agricultural production and other supporting commodities such as fisheries and livestock. Large-scale agricultural producers to small farmers with a narrow area are depend on pesticides. However

A set of man-made chemicals that have a tendency to poison insects and mammals are organophosphates. Organophosphates are a broad category of chemicals and are widely used insecticides. Now a days, they have various applications such as in agriculture, home, gardens etc. Dimethoate is an insecticide that falls under the category of organophosphates. Dimethoate is a white crystalline solid with robust odor resembling the form of sand or sugar. It was first produced in 1956 to kill or manage insects such as house fly, termites, etc and various countries use it for farming. We have less knowledge

Environmental pollutants, like pesticides, have been destructive on different aspects of life. Silkworm, as a beneficial insect, is no exception to this matter. Due to this, many problems have appeared in sericulture because of pesticide applications to cultivations, especially when mulberry trees grow next to cultivated plants. Many studies that have focused on the effect of insecticides on B. mori deal with toxicity, retardation of development and growth, fecundity, mortality, food utilization and economic parameters (Vassarmidaki et al., 2000).

A qualitative analysis of the situation of vector control insecticides management was conducted in six countries.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT In several insect species, resistance to pyrethroids and DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) is linked to point mutations in the voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) gene. Pyrethroid-based insecticides prolong the opening of sodium channels, causing paralysis known as a “knockdown” effect before mortality occurs. Point mutations in the VGSC gene result in decreased pyrethroid binding and reduced sensitivity to the insecticide—this resistance mechanism is known as knockdown resistance (kdr) as insects do not die but recover from paralysis with time. In Culex mosquito species loss of t
