Honeybees play a crucial role as agricultural pollinators and are frequently exposed to various pollutants, including pesticides. In this study, we aimed evaluate the toxicity of lambda-cyhalothrin (LCY) spinetoram (SPI) in honey bee larvae reared vitro through single (acute) repeated (chronic) exposure. The acute LD50 values for LCY SPI were 0.058 (0.051–0.066) 0.026 (0.01–0.045) μg a.i./larva, respectively. chronic exposure, 0.040 (0.033–0.046) 0.017 (0.014–0.019) no-observed-effect dose...

Organophosphate pesticides (OPPs) are one of the most widely used insecticides. OPPs exert their neurotoxic effects by inhibiting acetylcholine esterase (AChE). Most gross developmental abnormalities observed in OPP-treated fish, on other hand, may not be explained solely AChE inhibition. To understand overall molecular mechanisms involved OPP toxicity, we zebrafish (ZF) model. We exposed ZF embryos to an OPP, phosmet, for 96 h, and then analyzed performed whole transcriptome analysis....

Bees are important pollinators in agriculture. The bee population has recently begun to decline possibly due pesticides. gut microbiota strongly influences the health of bees. bees is composed distinct members belonging selective taxa. Chemicals like pesticides can alter microbiota. present study investigated effect carbaryl on honey bees, which had come contact with rapeseed plants (Brassica napus) sprayed wettable powder during brood test under semi-field condition. Molecular techniques...

Abstract Wastewater reclamation processes, including membrane bio reactor (MBR) and nanofiltration (NF) membrane, have been built, those processes were independently operated, under recycling conditions, to compare the performances, with respect contaminants removal fouling minimization. The hydrophilic fractions of organic matter more effectively removed than hydrophobic fraction through system due microbial activities in MBR, as measured using three dimensional fl uorescence excitation...

Etridiazole (EDZ) is a thiadiazole-containing fungicide commonly used to control Pythium and Phytophthora spp. Although previous studies have shown that EDZ teratogenic, the exact molecular mechanisms underlying its toxicity remain unknown. In this study, zebrafish (Danio rerio; ZF) model was explore pathways associated with toxicity. The whole transcriptome of ZF embryos exposed 96 h analyzed, along developmental abnormalities. EDZ-induced malformations were primarily related eyes, heart,...
