Cholinergic pesticides cause mushroom body neuronal inactivation in honeybees
Pesticides that target cholinergic neurotransmission are highly effective, but their use has been implicated in insect pollinator population decline. Honeybees are exposed to two widely used classes of cholinergic pesticide: neonicotinoids (nicotinic receptor agonists) and organophosphate miticides (acetylcholinesterase inhibitors). Although sublethal levels of neonicotinoids are known to disru...
متن کاملThe lymphocytic cholinergic system and its modulation by organophosphorus pesticides.
Clinical and basic mechanism observations reveal interactions between neural and immune systems. These two systems create a complex network for recognizing danger to the host and its protection from outside pathogenic elements as well as from inside overreactions of inflammatory character. Here, we review the interactions of these two systems in relation to the effects of pesticides that clearl...
متن کاملPotential Human Health Impacts and Medical Treatment of Acute Poisoning with Organophosphorus Pesticides (OPs): A Review
Organophosphate pesticides (OPs) are compounds that can be detected in human populations as a result of occupational or residential exposure. Despite their occurrence in considerably low levels in humans, their biological effects are hazardous since they interact with enzymes, proteins, receptors and transcription factors. The mechanism of OP poisoning involves inhibition of acetylcholinesteras...
متن کاملExposure to multiple cholinergic pesticides impairs olfactory learning and memory in honeybees.
Pesticides are important agricultural tools often used in combination to avoid resistance in target pest species, but there is growing concern that their widespread use contributes to the decline of pollinator populations. Pollinators perform sophisticated behaviours while foraging that require them to learn and remember floral traits associated with food, but we know relatively little about th...
متن کاملPesticide poisonings at a tertiary children's hospital in South Africa: an increasing problem.
CONTEXT Exposure of children to pesticides and overt poisoning are an increasingly important problem in South Africa. OBJECTIVE This study describes the profile of acute paediatric pesticide exposures and poisonings presenting to Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital (RCWMCH) in Cape Town South Africa from 2003 to 2008, identifies those poisonings due to illicit pesticides sold on the st...
متن کاملChemical toxins that cause seizures.
Seizurogenic chemicals include a variety of toxic agents, including chemical warfare agents, toxic industrial chemicals, and natural toxins. Chemical weapons such as sarin and VX, and pesticides such as parathion and carbaryl cause hyperstimulation of cholinergic receptors and an increase in excitatory neurotransmission. Glutamatergic hyperstimulation can occur after exposure to excitatory amin...
