background: deltamethrin (dm) is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide that can elicit neurotoxicity, leading to apoptosis. there is accumulating evidence that oleuropein (oe) has anti-apoptotic effect. the purpose of this study was to determine the anti-apoptotic effect of oe pretreatment in the neuronal cells of cerebral cortex. methods: rats were randomly divided into four groups each containin...

abstract background: iran is one of the countries implementing indoor residual spraying (irs) for malaria control. deltamethrin (dlt) is one of the insecticides recommended by world health organization (who) for this program. irs is currently performed in sistan and baluchistan province as an area with unstable malaria situation and the highest prevalence of malaria in the country. dlt has been...

The levels of resistance to the insecticides cartap, deltamethrin and metamidophos were evaluated for three populations of the Diamondback Moth Plutella xylostella (L.) from the Federal District, Brazil in laboratory bioassays. The larvae of DBM showed levels of resistance to deltamethrin between 4 and 47 fold relative to a susceptible laboratory strain. The level of resistance to metamidophos ...

The efficacy of liquid deltamethrin was evaluated for controlling fleas on golden-mantled ground squirrels, Spermophilus lateralis, and chipmunks, Tamias amoenus and T. senex. A host-targeted bait tube was modified to deliver insecticide to visiting rodents during a seven-week trial conducted in the Southern Cascade Mountains of northern California. A single deltamethrin treatment with one repl...

Fecundity and egg viability of Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) females were significantly (P<0.01) reduced by synthetic pyrethroids and an alkaloid containing insecticide nimbicidine. In control, the average number of eggs laid by each female/day was 12.18. The lowest number of eggs laid by each female/day was noted as 4.38 when combining nimbicidine with two pyrethroids i.e., cypermethrin and del...

BACKGROUND Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is an important vector-borne disease in Iran. The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Deltamethrin treated nets in comparison to Indoors Residual Spraying (IRS) for the control of leishmaniasis in a new focal area of Iran. METHODS The study was carried out in 5 villages in the west of Iran during 2012-2013. One village was selected to the ap...

we studied the hepatotoxic effects of a deltamethrin containing formulation (decis®) on developing em-bryo of gallus domesticus. fertilized eggs were immersed in three different concentrations of deltamethrin (12.5, 25 and 50 mg/l) for 60 min at 37 ˚c prior to incubation (ed 0) and on the 4th day of incubation (ed 4) and incubated till embryonic day (ed) 16. exposure to 50 mg/l of deltamethrin ...

Resistance levels to deltamethrin were measured in 5 natural populations of Anopheles sinensis. The median lethal concentrations (LC50S) of deltamethrin in these populations were higher than those in susceptible strains originating from the same populations, especially in the Wenzhou population, which had a resistance ratio (RR50) of 11 relative to its susceptible strain. Resistant strains were...

The resistance/susceptible status of Aedes aegypti (field strain) from slum area of Misri Shah Lahore, Pakistan was determined during May 2009 to January 2011. Two insecticides i.e. deltamethrin 1.5% EC and cypermethrin 10% EC which were sprayed in various localities of Lahore from the last ten years were used to evaluate resistance/susceptible status of field collected adult females of Aedes a...

The freshwater fishes are an important source of animal protein to human population. They are adversely affected by aquatic pollutants such as pesticides used in agriculture, which are easily washed off into the water bodies. The effect may be direct when the pesticide is absorbed into the body through the skin, gill, intestine, wound, etc. It may be indirect when the pesticide alters the quali...
