freshwater fish cirrhinus mrigala were exposed to lethal concentration (5 mg/l) for 1,2,3,4 days and sublethal concentration (1 mg/l) for 1,7,14,21 days of cypermethrin to examine the enzymes activity, in functionally three different tissues namely, gill, liver and muscle. activities of aspartate aminotransferase (aat), alanine aminotransferase (alat) and glutamate dehydrogenase (gdh) increased...

in southeast asia, aedes aegypti (l.) has been incriminated as principal vector of dengue viruses and ae. albopictus as the secondary vector of dengue fever. therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of three for-mula tions of pyrethrin derived from tanacetum cinerariaefolium against the dengue/dengue haemorrhagic fever vectors aedes aegypti and ae. albopictus in the...

the two-spotted spider mite, tetranychus urticae koch (acari: tetranychidae) is one of the most important agricultural pests of the world. it causes direct and indirect damage on plants which decreases in photosynthesis and crop yield. the effect of sublethal concentrations of artemisia annua l. (asteraceae) and rosmarinus officinalis l. (lamiaceae) essential oils were assessed on development a...

This study investigated the possibility that sublethal food preservation stresses (high or low temperature and osmotic and pH stress) can lead to changes in the nature and scale of antibiotic resistance (ABR) expressed by three food-related pathogens (Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, and Staphylococcus aureus). The study found that some sublethal stresses significantly...

Sublethal infections by Spodoptera exigua multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (SeMNPV) are common in field populations of the beet armyworm (S. exigua, Hübner) in the Almerian horticultural region of Spain. Inoculation of second, third, and fourth instars with occlusion bodies (OBs) of an isolate (VT-SeAl1) associated with vertically transmitted infections resulted in 15 to 100% of sublethal infectio...

background: diazinon is an organophosphate pesticide which is widely used in paddy fields located in northern parts of iran, though it is prohibited to be used in many countries. objectives: the purpose of the present study was to investigate sublethal effects of diazinon on blood parameters of common bream abramis brama. methods: in sublethal toxicity test, fish were exposed to diazinon concen...

BACKGROUND Asian citrus psyllid (ACP), Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, transmits the causal bacteria of the devastating citrus disease huanglongbing (HLB). Because of the variation in spatial and temporal uptake and systemic distribution of imidacloprid applied to citrus trees and its degradation over time in citrus trees, ACP adults and nymphs are exposed to concentrations that may not cause immedi...

the potato tuber moth (ptm), phthorimaea operculella (zeller) is one of the important pests of potato in tropical regions. in this research, the toxicity of two insecticides, abamectin and deltamethrin on p. operculella was studied at 26 ± 1 c°, 65 ± 5% rh and photoperiod of 16:8 h (l: d). the concentrations were determined by preliminary dose setting experiments. distilled water was used as co...

Sublethal exposure to an insecticide may alter insect feeding, mating, oviposition, fecundity, development, and many other life history parameters. Such effects may have population-level consequences that are not apparent in traditional dose-mortality evaluations. Earlier, we found that a routinely used combination insecticide that includes a pyrethroid and a neonicotinoid (Temprid® SC) had del...
