Moreover, because zooplankton play a key role in aquatic food webs, it is expected that population variation in resistance would dramatically alter aquatic food webs, particularly with exposure to low concentra
“There is considerable use of herbicides and insecticides in agricultural industries in both developed and developing nations around the world, raising exposure potential for children and adults, especially if they live in agricultural areas, but we don’t know how it impacts each stage of life,”...
A recent Scientific American article that summarized the research on Bt corn noted, "The evidence overwhelmingly demonstrates that Bt toxins are some of the safest and most selective insecticides ever used. Claims that Bt crops poison people are simply not true." Indeed, the article argues that ...
Several reports suggested that rice seedling nursery-box application of some systemic insecticides (neonicotinoids and fipronil) is the cause of the decline in dragonfly species noted since the 1990s in Japan. We conducted paddy mesocosm experiments to investigate the effect of the systemic insecticides...
Organophosphate (OP) pesticides are commonly used insecticides for crop protection in agriculture, for pest control in public health programs and for domestic use inside homes. According to the nationwide survey of the Spanish pesticide market, based on European Regulation 1185/2009, the amount of OP...
cleaning of facilities using appropriate detergent and disinfectant is helpful in the prevention of ectoparasite. Eliminate areas where external parasites can breed and develop (e.g. elimination of standing water reservoirs decreases mosquito levels). The use of Insecticides and fly predators may be ...
Though many have been tested, only 1 product has been widely used in agriculture as a urease inhibitor. That product, N-butyl-thiophosphoric triamide, or NBPT, is a structural analog of urea and as such inhibits urease by blocking the active site of the enzyme. NBPT is the active ...
work reviews some significant and recent literature that used the SERS method for the identification of trace fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, acaricides, and molluscicides used in the agricultural industry. The authors hope that this review will be helpful for researchers and officials to focus...

One of the reasons attributed to the resurgence of bed bugs is the development of insecticide resistance in these insects making them difficult to control using currently available insecticides23,24. New insecticides with a novel mode of action are urgently needed. The studies included in this ...
