Acute and sublethal effects of (S)-methoprene on some Australian mosquitoes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Laboratory bioassays were used to determine the efficacy of (S)-methoprene against 7 species of Australian mosquitoes. The 90% lethal concentration (LC90) ranged from 0.17 ppb for Aedes vigilax to 6.54 ppb for Culex sitiens. The survival of adults exposed as larvae to 2 sublethal dosages of (S)-methoprene was compared to a control group. Little effect was noted for Cx. sitiens and Culex annulirostris. However, survival of male and female Ae. vigilax was significantly reduced and appeared to be dose related. Bloodfeeding success of female Ae. vigilax was also significantly reduced.

Evaluation of some Enzymatic Changes in the Liver and Kidney of Rats Following Exposure to Sublethal Concentration of Potassium Cyanide
Background: Besides acute lethal cyanide poisoning, its chronic intoxication may also produce some pathologic effects on different tissues that precedes alterations in biochemical parameters. The present study was aimed to evaluate the effects of sublethal cyanide exposure on some tissue enzyme activities in liver and kidney of rats. Methods: Twelve male rats were divided into two groups as ...

Toxicity of the organophosphate, diazinon was studied in grass carp (Cetenopharyngodon idella) weighing 5±1.0g, under static water quality condition at 16°C. Also, some hematological and biochemical variables of fish weighing 50±5.0g were studied 12 hours post-exposing fish to the toxicant at sublethal concentration of 5.6mg/L at 16°C. Values of 18.19, 17.21, 16.68, and 15.13mg/L, were obtained...

Effectiveness and residual activity tests of granular formulations of 2 insect growth regulators (IGRs), s-methoprene and pyriproxyfen, against laboratory-reared larvae of 5 colonized mosquitoes, Aedes aegypti, Aedes albopictus, Aedes taeniorhynchus, Anopheles quadrimaculatus, and Culex nigripalpus, were conducted in the laboratory and outdoors in plastic tubs. Culex quinquefasciatus was expose...
متن کاملMethoprene affects the rotation of the male terminalia of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes.
The rotation of the male terminalia of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes was investigated with chemical surgical, and mechanical methods. Neither decapitation nor ventral nerve cord transection affected the postemergence rotation, but methoprene administered to 4th-instar larvae and early instar pupae slowed rotation significantly and, in the case of pupal treatment, also interfered with successful inse...
