The protective effects of Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester (CAPE) and intralipid (IL) on nephrotoxicity caused by acute Dichlorvos (D) toxicity were investigated in this study. Forty-eight Wistar Albino rats were divided into 7 groups as follows: Control, D, CAPE, intralipid, D + CAPE, D + IL, and D + CAPE + IL. When compared to D group, the oxidative stress index (OSI) values were significantly lo...

In order to determine the level of residual Dichlorvos pesticide on strawberry fruits in research greenhouse conditions in crop year of 2011-2012, a study was carried out in Education and Research Center for Greenhouse Productions of Islamic Azad University of Khorasgan of Isfahan. Factorial experiment was carried out based on a completely randomized design with two factors of pesticide consump...

Regular usage of toxic chemicals in mulberry garden to control the pests cause pollution and are detrimental to human beings and beneficial organisms including silkworms. Further, the pests develop resistance to the chemical insecticides with indiscriminate use and result in sudden outbreak. In view of these, pest management using non-chemical methods have gained importance including biological...

Our goal was to determine whether chlorpyrifos oxon, dichlorvos, diisopropylXuorophosphate (DFP), and sarin covalently bind tohuman albumin. Human albumin or plasma was treated with organophosphorus (OP) agent at alkaline pH, digested with pepsin at pH2.3, and analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-Xight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry. Two singly chargedpeaks...

BACKGROUND Laodelphax striatellus (Fallén) is a major pest of cultivated rice and is commonly controlled in China with the organophosphate insecticides. To develop a better resistance management strategy, a chlorpyrifos-resistant strain of L. striatellus was selected in the laboratory, and its cross-resistance to other insecticides and possible mechanisms of the chlorpyrifos resistance were inv...

Biochemical indices were investigated for their potential use as variables of sublethal toxicity in Daphnia (cholinesterase) and Chironomus (cholinesterase and biotransformation enzymes). Parathion, dichlorvos, and aldicarb caused dose-related inhibition of cholinesterase (ChE) in 24-h bioassays with both species. Ratios of Daphnia and Chironomus ChE IC50 values to corresponding immotility EC50...

Pesticides and insecticides are harmful and toxic organic chemicals that are used for controlling pests and insects in agriculture, thereby considered as necessary evil. Agricultural wastewater, contaminated with such toxic pesticides, pollutes surface and groundwater. Pesticides are able to reach surface waters either directly or indirectly via the discharge of agricultural drainage water from...

The study analyzed the effects of pesticides on selected vegetable crops grown in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State Nigeria. pesticide Dichlorvos (DD Force) was used to treat sites planted with Amaranth, cucumber, and okra. Soil samples were randomly collected after 30 days incorporation tested for traces chloride phosphate. results analysis showed that amaranth, okra residue concentration exceeded maxim...
