Two groups of chemicals are currently licensed for use in sheep dip products in the UK. These are organophosphate (OP) insecticides and synthetic pyrethroid (SP) insecticides. SPs are deemed to be less toxic to human health than OPs, although they

In the present study, each group comprised six animals, and a total of 30 female. Wistar Albino rats weighing 200-250g were used. The first group served as the control group. Group 2 received propolis at a concentration of 100mg/kgbw/day in
Toxicity studies tend to use pure pesticides with single organisms. However, natural systems are complex and biological communities diverse. The organophosphate pesticide propetamphos (PPT) has been found exceeding regulatory limits (100 ng L(-1)) in rivers. We address whether solution properties
Propetamphos ((E)-O-2-isopropylcarbonyl-1-methylvinyl-O-methylethyl phosphoramidothioate) is an organophosphate pesticide (OP) and has been used as an active ingredient in sheep dip where there is the potential for significant dermal exposure during dipping. Biological monitoring of exposure to propetamphos has until recently relied
The response of sheep scab mites to pyrethroid insecticides and organophosphate compounds was studied in vitro with the objective of finding a simple test for detecting insecticide resistance in scab mites. Psoroptes cuniculi from rabbits or P. ovis from sheep
