objective(s):the present study was undertaken to determine the effects of acute exposure to malathion on oxidative stress and cytotoxic potential of anticholinesterase insecticide, malathion in reproductive toxicology of adolescent male mice. materials and methods: thirty two adolescent male mice at pubertal age were treated with 500 mg/kg body weight (bw) of malathion for three days. after exp...

1. Effects of endosulfan, malathion and carbaryl on circulating T4, T3 and T3/T4 ratio in the freshwater catfish, C. batrachus have been studied during reproductively active phases, i.e. vitellogenic and post-vitellogenic phases of its annual reproductive cycle. 2. Endosulfan provoked a significant increase in T4 and a decrease in T3 as well as the T3/T4 ratio. 3. Malathion decreased T3 and T3/...

Near-infrared spectroscopy coupled with kernel partial least squares-discriminant analysis was used to rapidly screen water containing malathion. In the wavenumber of 4348 cm to 9091 cm, the overall correct classification rate of kernel partial least squares-discriminant analysis was 100% for training set, and 100% for test set, with the lowest concentration detected malathion residues in water...

Acute toxicity tests were conducted to measure the response of first instar Toxorhynchites splendens to commonly used mosquito adulticides: malathion, naled and resmethrin. The concentrations of pesticide causing 50% mortality (LC50) after 24 h was 2.87, 69.1 and 623 ppb for resmethrin, malathion and naled, respectively. Naled was determined to be the least toxic of the 3 compounds tested for i...

malathion (s-(1, 2-dicarboethoxyethyl) o, o-dimethyl phosphorodithioate) is one of the organophosphate pesticides comprehensively used in agriculture fields throughout the world. in spite of widely used, little information are available about dna damage in aquatic organisms. therefore, the present study carried out to investigation of dna damage induced by malathion in cyprinus carpio (pisces: ...

investigation on the current response of an.stephensi larvae to four who recommended larvicides, i.e. malathion, temephos, chlorpyrifos and fenitrothion, were carried out in the laboratory in 1999. diagnostic concentrations of pesticides only yielded 100% mortality with malathion. in contrast, levels of susceptibility to temphos, chlorpyrifos (0.025 mg/l) and temephos (0.625 mg/l) killed 72%, 9...

anopheles culicifacies s.l. plays an important role in transmission of malaria in sistan and baluchistan province, southeastern iran. adult susceptibility test on fieltt-collccled mosquitoes was conducted in ohasreghand district. who diagnostic test procedures revealed that adult females were resistant to 0.4% dieuirin (mortality 64.5 ± 3.13), tolerant to 0.1% propoxur (mortality 88.5 ± 2.24) a...

Standard WHO insecticide bioassay tests were carried out in Gorgora, northern Ethiopia to evaluate the susceptibility status of Anopheles pharoensis Theobald for the insecticides DDT, malathion, permethrin and deltamethrin. The mortality and when appropriate knockdown effect of the insecticides were observed. The results indicated that this species was resistant to DDT. A high mortality was obt...

Aedes aegypti (L.) and Aedes albopictus (Skuse), two important vectors of dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever, were collected from Mae Sot, Nakhon Sawan, Nakhon Ratchasima, Surat Thani, and Phatthalung, Thailand, from July 2003 to April 2004. The patterns of insecticide susceptibility to temephos, malathion, and permethrin of both Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus larvae were determined. Ae....
