Studies on rodenticides (I) Methods of biological tests for rodenticides

Studies in Microencapsulation of Rodenticides

Warfarin, zinc phosphide, norbormide and alphachloralose have been microencapsulated by the technique of coacervation and fed to laboratory rats (R. norvegicus) and mice (M. musculus). Results are given of experiments in which the concentration of rodenticide, wall material and phase ratio have been varied separately and in combination. Experiments are also reported in which normal and encapsul...

The Pharmacology of Rodenticides

Rodenticides - Problems and Current Research

Regarded from both the economic and health aspects, the control of rodents is a pressing world wide problem. Continued improvements in food storage facilities, crop husbandry and environmental control are l i k e l y to do much in the long-term to help reduce rodent populations and damage. Looking ahead again, it is possible that biological control methods involving for example the use of repro...

146 - Insecticides, Herbicides, and Rodenticides

The clinical severity and toxicodynamics vary according to the agent, the route of absorption, and whether the exposure was intentional. Regardless of these factors, the toxicologic mechanism of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition remains consistent. The end result is an excess of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh), which results in overstimulation of muscarinic and nicotinic receptors...
