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 ...

Fish and other organisms are affected by pesticides which pollute the natural water through agricultural runoff. Fishes are common bioindicators of water pollution. In the present study bioassay of synthetic pesticide, Dichlorvos and a plant origin natural pesticide, Neem-On was separately done on Labeo rohita. Data obtained from the toxicity tests were evaluated using the Probit Analysis Stati...

Cancer hazards from pesticide residues in food have been much discussed in the past decade. In this study, we showed that dichlorvos and dimethoate affect hemoglobin content and hematocrit value, but had no effect on red blood cell counts and total plasma protein in mice. A 40-mg/kg/day dose of dichlorvos upregulated the expression of p16, Bcl-2 and c-myc genes in mouse gastric tissue. By contr...

Although most pesticides sprayed on terrestrial plants remain on their leaf surfaces, the relationship between leaf-associated microbial populations and pesticide degradation remains unclear. Here we examined changes in the bacterial community composition in the rape phyllosphere after treatment with dichlorvos, an organophosphorus pesticide. Results indicate that the bacterial community showed...

Inappropriate use of toxic chemicals is common in developing countries, where it leads to excessive exposure and high risks of unintentional poisoning. Risks are particularly high with the pesticides used in agriculture, poor rural populations live and work in close proximity to these compounds and often store these compounds in and around their homes. It is estimated that most of the death fro...
