Varroa destructor is the main concern related to the gradual decline of honeybees. Nowadays, among the various acaricides used in the control of V. destructor, most presents increasing resistance. An interesting alternative could be the identification of existent molecules as
Human volunteer studies have been conducted by orally administering the pesticides deltamethrin (0.01 mg/kg/day) or pirimicarb (0.02 mg/kg/day) at the acceptable daily intake (ADI) together with chlorpyrifos-methyl (0.01 mg/kg/day), in order to investigate any potential interactions that may occur during

The purpose of this study is to investigate the possibility to use acetylcholinesterase (AChE) as a biomarker of exposure to deltamethrin insecticide in the honeybee, Apis mellifera and to test its reliability in the presence of other contaminants, as carbamate

Pirimicarb and its formulation Aficida (50% pirimicarb) effects were studied on CHO-K1 cells employing sister chromatid exchange (SCE), chromosomal aberrations (CA), cell-cycle progression and mitotic index analyses. Continuous treatments were performed within 10-300 microg/ml concentration-range. Pirimicarb, but not Aficida, induced

Mixture toxicity of similar- and dissimilar-acting toxicants can be predicted by the models concentration addition (CA) and independent action (IA) using single substance toxicity data. Knowledge of the toxicants mode of action is thus required in order to use the
