Mechanistic Understanding of Neurobehavioral Effects of Insecticides on the Larvae of Zebrafish (Danio rerio)
Due to conservation of neuronal functioning across phyla, molecular targets of insecticides are similar in insects and vertebrates. Insecticides thus pose a risk to aquatic vertebrates,such as fish, and potentially cause neurotoxic effects. Although these ...
EPFL2022In vivo transcriptomic profiling using cell encapsulation identifies effector pathways of systemic aging
Patrick Descombes, Sylviane Métairon, Omid Mashinchian, Filippo De Franceschi, Nicolas Bouche, Christophe Boss
Sustained exposure to a young systemic environment rejuvenates aged organisms and promotes cellular function. However, due to the intrinsic complexity of tissues it remains challenging to pinpoint niche-independent effects of circulating factors on specifi ...
2022Eco-friendly pesticide based on peppermint oil nanoemulsion: preparation, physicochemical properties, and its aphicidal activity against cotton aphid
Using organic insecticides including plant oils, it is possible to design a new perspective for the control of insect pests. In this research, nanoemulsion formulations of Mentha piperita, wild-type essential oil (EO) were prepared utilizing high-energy ul ...
2019Imidacloprid induces adverse effects on fish early life stages that are more severe in Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) than in zebrafish (Danio rerio)
Kristin Schirmer, Juliane Hollender
Neonicotinoids are widely used insecticides that have frequently been found in freshwater with concentrations ranging from ng to mu g/L. It is known that these compounds impact non-target invertebrates, such as bees and gammaridae, in terms of toxicity and ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2019Assessment of human exposure to pesticides by hair analysis: The case of vegetable-producing areas in Burkina Faso
Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Edouard René Gilbert Lehmann, Christelle Oltramare, Jean-Jacques Stéphane Nfon Dibie
The present work assesses human exposure to pesticides in vegetable-producing areas in Burkina Faso, using hair as an indicator. The study design includes a comparison between operators who are occupationally exposed while working in the fields and a refer ...
2018Dietary risk assessment of pesticides from vegetables and drinking water in gardening areas in Burkina Faso
Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Edouard René Gilbert Lehmann
Vegetables and water samples have been collected around the lake of Loumbila in Burkina Faso. Pesticides resi- dues in food commodities were analyzed using a modified QuEChERS extraction method prior analysis on GC-MS and UPLC-MS/MS of 31 pesticides. Maxim ...
Elsevier2017UV/H2O2 advanced oxidation for abatement of organophosphorous pesticides and the effects on various toxicity screening assays
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are utilized due to their ability to treat emerging contaminants with the fast reacting and non-selective hydroxyl radical (center dot OH). Organophosphorous insecticides are common drinking water contaminants, with 12 d ...
