We studied the mode of action of type I pyrethroids on the voltage-dependent sodium current from honeybee olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs), whose proper function in antenna is crucial for interindividual communication in this species. Under voltage-clamp, tetramethrin and permethrin induce

Rat dorsal root ganglion neurons are endowed with tetrodotoxin-sensitive(TTX-S) and tetrodotoxin-resistant (TTX-R) sodium channels. The pyrethroid insecticides, which are known to keep sodium channels open for a prolonged period of time, cause differential effects on the two types of sodium
Two vibrational spectroscopy procedures have been developed and compared for the direct and simultaneous determination of piperonyl butoxide and tetramethrin, the active ingredients of alcoholic capillary lotions, for hair pediculosis diseases. Nine lotions, purchased from the Spanish market, were analyzed

Four pediculicides were tested against head lice in-vitro. The LT50 for Licid ranged between 10.75 (at conc. 50%) to 25.08 (at conc. 1%). All lice died with conc. 100% within 5 minutes. With Malathion, the LT50 ranged between 4.23 to
