Biochemical Changes as Biomarkers of Pyrethroid Toxicity in Rats :TONG Jian, et al. De partment of Public Health, Suzhou Medical College -Biochemical changes reflecting toxic effects of two pyrethroid pesticides were pursued under exper imental conditions of single and multiple exposures. Two pesticides, fenvalerate and cypermethrin, were administered to rats, and biochemical indices such as le...

Development of Silafluofen-Based Termiticides in Japan and Thailand

With the advancement from natural pyrethrins to synthetic pyrethroids, their applications have expanded from household insecticides for indoor use against sanitary pests to outdoor use for agriculture, forestry, animal health, termite control, and many other pest situations. However, high fish toxicity and development of pyrethroid resistance in some pests have been cited as common shortcomings...

The Pyrethroid Knockdown Resistance

New promising insect control efforts are now being evaluated such as biological alternatives or even transgenic insects and Wolbachia based strategies. Although it is increasingly clear that successful approaches must involve integrated actions, chemical insecticides unfortunately still play a central role in pest and vector control (Raghavendra et al., 2011). Development of new safe and effect...
