Current Insights into Sublethal Effects of Pesticides on Insects

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 25(11), P. 6007 - 6007

The effect of pesticides on insects is often discussed in terms acute and chronic toxicity, but an important overlooked aspect the impact sublethal doses insect physiology behavior. Pesticides can influence various physiological parameters insects, including innate immune system, development, reproduction, through a combination direct effects specific exposed tissues modification behaviors that contribute to health reproductive success. Such include mobility, feeding, oviposition, navigation, ability detect pheromones. also have profound learning memory. precise depend many different factors, species, age, sex, caste, condition, as well type concentration active ingredients exposure route. More studies are needed assess (and combinations thereof) wider range species understand how decline. This review reflects our current knowledge about advancements development innovative methods them.

Environmental Implication of Herbicide Use

Molecules, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 29(24), P. 5965 - 5965

Published: Dec. 18, 2024

One of the guiding principles sustainable use herbicides is their targeted action exclusively against weeds, consisting blocking photosynthesis and synthesis amino acids growth regulators. Herbicides are major elements plant production, indispensable to functioning modern agriculture. Nevertheless, influence on all natural environment needs be continuously controlled. This review article summarizes research addressing effects changes they trigger therein. Herbicides, applied protect crops weed infestation, usually mixtures various active substances; hence, it generally difficult analyze impact organisms. Nonetheless, an attempt was made in this discuss selected individual (water, soil, air) organisms (humans, animals, plants, microorganisms). In addition, presents examples biodegradation mechanisms degradation by bacteria fungi. Based information, can concluded that uncontrolled has led adverse non-target organisms, as documented scientific literature. However, further environmental these chemicals needed address missing knowledge subject.

An update of the impact of pesticide exposure on memory and learning

The dependence on the use of pesticides in agribusiness leads to an increase human exposure these chemical compounds through occupational activity, contamination environment, food and water. nervous system is target most insecticidal when are poorly selective, they can harm non-target species, including humans. This work aimed investigate effects pesticide memory learning. Articles published PubMed database between 2015 2024 were reviewed. One hundred sixty-one articles included this review, which one thirty two preclinical studies twenty-nine studies. Among studies, organophosphates, pyrethroids, neonicotinoids, carbamates, addition herbicides, fungicides mixed exposures was associated with learning deficits animals such as bees, mosquitoes, fishes, mice, rats, bats. Olfactory, associative aversive learning, well capacity affected by pesticides. Most evaluated environmental organophosphate pesticides, pyrethroids carbamates outcomes interest. Living close application areas having parents working agriculture worse scores childhood adolescence. Prenatal insecticides has already been poorer attention skills attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms, intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, motor delays, problems. In adults, during activity also performance. evidence found review suggests that different mechanisms action able cause some cognitive impairment. Developmental exposure, chronic contribute performance, especially memory.
