The potential of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) to remove a phosphorus pesticide ethion were investigated. The disappearance rate constants of ethion in culture solutions were 0.01059, 0.00930, 0.00294, and 0.00201 h-1 for the non-sterile planted, sterile planted, non-sterile unplanted, and
The organophosphate pesticide, Ethion, remains a major environmental contaminant in rural Australia and poses a significant threat to environmental and public health. The aerobic degradation of Ethion by mesophilic bacteria isolated from contaminated soils surrounding disused cattle dip sites was

The potential of five nonionic surfactants, Triton X-100, Brij35, Ethylan GE08, Ethylan CD127, and Ethylan CPG660 for enhancing release of carbaryl and ethion from two long-term contaminated soils was evaluated using the batch method. Incorporation of the surfactants into soils

Organophosphate (OP) insecticides have been reported to induce oxidative stress due to lipid peroxidation and alteration in defense mechanisms. It is known that calcium content in erythrocytes plays a very important in normal physiology of cells. Erythrocytes are a very
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
