Exposure to organophosphate pesticides and male hormone profile in floriculturist of the state of Morelos, Mexico.

BACKGROUND Studies on experimental animals have found that organophosphate (OP) pesticides may act as endocrine disruptors; however, their effects on the human hormonal profile have not yet been adequately characterized. We evaluate the association between exposure to OP pesticides, measured through dialkyl phosphate (DAP) metabolites urinary levels, and the male hormone profile. METHODS A cr...

Analysis of spatial mobility in subjects from a Dengue endemic urban locality in Morelos State, Mexico

INTRODUCTION Mathematical models and field data suggest that human mobility is an important driver for Dengue virus transmission. Nonetheless little is known on this matter due the lack of instruments for precise mobility quantification and study design difficulties. MATERIALS AND METHODS We carried out a cohort-nested, case-control study with 126 individuals (42 cases, 42 intradomestic contr...

Benthic Primary Production Budget of a Caribbean Reef Lagoon (Puerto Morelos, Mexico)

High photosynthetic benthic primary production (P) represents a key ecosystem service provided by tropical coral reef systems. However, benthic P budgets of specific ecosystem compartments such as macrophyte-dominated reef lagoons are still scarce. To address this, we quantified individual and lagoon-wide net (Pn) and gross (Pg) primary production by all dominant functional groups of benthic pr...

Environmental state and tendencies of the Puerto Morelos CARICOMP site, Mexico.

The CARICOMP site at Puerto Morelos, Mexico was monitored from 1993 to 2005. No significant changes in air temperature, wind patterns, periodicity and quantity of rainfall, sea-surface temperature and water transparency were observed between sampling years. During the study four hurricane impacts were registered. At the coral reef site overall mean cover of fleshy algae (47%) and turf algae (36...
