The effect of widely used commercial-grade organophosphorus insecticides, namely, fenitrothion and ethion, on acetylcholinesterase activity and acetylcholine levels in brain, fat body, and silk gland of Bombyx mori on Days 1, 3, and 5 and food intake of the fifth
A field study was conducted in central Argentina to evaluate the efficacy of ear tags containing 36% ethion against pyrethroid resistant populations of Haematobia irritans on grazing dairy cattle. The treated group consisted of 45 milking Holstein cows which received
The ticks Haemaphysalis longicornis and Rhipicephalus appendiculatus are important parasites worldwide. The current method for control of cattle ticks involves the use of chemicals. Nevertheless, parasite resistance is an ever increasing global problem. Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) play a central role
