Abstract Dichlorvos is an organophosphorus insecticide frequently detected in surface waters all around the world. From evaluation of environmental quality concentrations (EQC) for dichlorvos adopted by different countries, it was observed a wide variability among them. This despite regulatory EQC-values are typically based on toxicity data and species sensitivity distribution (SSD) investigate...

Sport and leisure horses in Morocco are treated with several anthelmintics, organophosphates (dichlorvos), benzimidazoles (mostly thiabendazole) or tetrahydropyrimidines (mostly pyrantel pamoate) against nematodes. We studied three horse stables in Rabat, one in Meknes and one in Bouznika. Two of the Rabat and Bouznika stables had introduced a large number of horses from countries (Argentina or...

The gas phase pyrolysis of trichlorfon was investigated by the on-line gas chromatography - mass spectrometry (GC-MS) pyrolysis and theoretical calculations. Two reaction channels were proposed in the pyrolytic reaction, by analyzing the detected pyrolytic products in the total ion chromatography, including 2,2,2-trichloroacetaldehyde, dimethyl phosphite, and dichlorvos. Theoretical calculation...

INTRODUCTION Drug-induced liver injury is a frequent cause of hepatic dysfunction. Several drugs have been identified to cause autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). Environmental chemicals are capable of triggering a certain degree of liver injury. However, toxin induced AIH is rare. CASE PRESENTATION We reported a woman with chronic (long-term) exposures to dichlorvos, which resulted in liver injury a...

The present study was carried out to search whether organophosphate pesticides affect the mechanical properties of the thoracic aorta. Wistar female rats (aged 6-8 weeks) were assigned randomly to a control group and groups treated with either dichlorvos or chlorpyriphos for 90 days at a dose of 5 mg/kg/day. After that period, animals were killed and thoracic aorta strips in longitudinal direct...

Background: Exposure to environmental toxins such as organophosphates poses a great threat to the health of the public. In this work, we investigated the effects of continuous exposure to dichlorvos (DDVP) on kidney function and hematological parameters, and the possible antidote activity of Nigella sativa oil (NSO). Methods: This research was conducted in 2016, at The Animal Holding and Resea...

Reduced glutathione (GSH) and Glutathione S-transferase (GST) play important roles in the detoxification of several xenobiotic compounds, including pesticides. This study was carried out to access the effect of the organophosphate pesticide, dichlorvos on the activities of GSH, GST as well as lipid peroxidation of egg laying hens. Seven weeks old pullets weighing between 400-600 g divided into ...
