  • Factors Influencing Pesticide Resistance in Psylla Pyricola Foerster and Susceptibility Inits Mirid
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF: Hugo E. van de Baan for the degree ofDoctor of Philosopbv in Entomology presented on September 29, 181. Title: Factors Influencing Pesticide Resistance in Psylla pyricola Foerster and Susceptibility inits Mirid Predator, Deraeocoris brevis Knight. Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: Factors influencing pesticide susceptibility and resistance were studied in Psylla pyricola Foerster, and its mirid predator, Deraeocoris brevis Knight in the Rogue River Valley, Oregon. Factors studied were at the biochemical, life history, and population ecology levels. Studies on detoxification enzymes showed that glutathione S-transferase and cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase activities were ca. 1.6-fold higherin susceptible R. brevis than in susceptible pear psylla, however, esterase activity was ca. 5-fold lower. Esterase activity was ca. 18-fold higher in resistant pear psylla than in susceptible D. brevis, however, glutathione S-transferase and cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase activities were similar. Esterases seem to be a major factor conferring insecticideresistance in P. Pvricola. Although the detoxification capacities of P. rivricola and D. brevis were quite similar, pear psylla has developed resistance to many insecticides in the Rogue River Valley, whereas D. brevis has remained susceptible. Biochemical factors may be important in determining the potential of resistance development, however, they are less important in determining the rate at which resistance develops. Computer simulation studies showed that life history and ecological factors are probably of greater importancein determining the rate at which resistance develops in P. pvricola and D. brevis. High fecundity and low immigration of susceptible individuals into selected populations appear to be major factors contributing to rapid resistance development in pear psylla compared with D.

    Question Of the Day Archives: Monday, December 5, 2016 Question: Calcium oxalate is a widespread toxin found in many species of plants. What is the needle shaped crystal containing calcium oxalate called and what is the compilation of these structures known as? Answer: The needle shaped plant-based crystals containing calcium oxalate are known as raphides. A compilation of raphides forms the structure known as an idioblast. (Lim CS et al. Atlas of select poisonous plants and mushrooms. 2016 Disease-a-Month 62(3):37-66) Friday, December 2, 2016 Question: Which oral chelating agent has been reported to cause transient increases in plasma ALT activity in some patients as well as rare instances of mucocutaneous skin reactions? Answer: Orally administered dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) has been reported to cause transient increases in ALT activity as well as rare instances of mucocutaneous skin reactions. (Bradberry S et al. Use of oral dimercaptosuccinic acid (succimer) in adult patients with inorganic lead poisoning. 2009 Q J Med 102:721-732) Thursday, December 1, 2016 Question: What is Clioquinol and why was it withdrawn from the market during the 1970s? Answer: According to the cited reference, “Between the 1950s and 1970s Clioquinol was used to treat and prevent intestinal parasitic disease [intestinal amebiasis].” “In the early 1970s Clioquinol was withdrawn from the market as an oral agent due to an association with sub-acute myelo-optic neuropathy (SMON) in Japanese patients. SMON is a syndrome that involves sensory and motor disturbances in the lower limbs as well as visual changes that are due to symmetrical demyelination of the lateral and posterior funiculi of the spinal cord, optic nerve, and peripheral nerves.

  • Results from Monitoring Endosulfan and Dieldrin in Wide Hollow Creek, Yakima River Drainage, 2005-06
    A D e p a r t m e n t o f E c o l o g y R e p o r t Results from Monitoring Endosulfan and Dieldrin in Wide Hollow Creek, Yakima River Drainage, 2005-06 Abstract Endosulfan and dieldrin were monitored in Wide Hollow Creek near Yakima from July 2005 through June 2006. Wide Hollow Creek is on the federal Clean Water Act Section 303(d) list as water quality limited for historically exceeding aquatic life and/or human health water quality criteria for these pesticides. Results showed that endosulfan no longer qualifies for 303(d) listing. Dieldrin, however, was consistently above human health criteria and should therefore remain listed. Data were also obtained on endosulfan sulfate and aldrin.

Substances with similar chemical structures have been used as BPA alternatives; however, limited information is available on their toxic effects. In the present study, we reviewed the endocrine disrupting potential in the gonad and thyroid endocrine system in zebrafish after exposure to BPA and its alternatives (i.e., bisphenol AF, bisphenol C, bisphenol F, bisphenol S, bisphenol SIP, and bisphenol Z). Most BPA alternatives disturbed the endocrine system by altering the levels of genes and hormones involved in reproduction, development, and growth in zebrafish. Changes in gene expression related to steroidogenesis and sex hormone production were more prevalent in males than in females. Vitellogenin, an egg yolk precursor produced in females, was also detected in males, confirming that it could induce estrogenicity.

  • Public Health Statement for Endosulfan
    PUBLIC HEALTH STATEMENT Endosulfan Division of Toxicology and Human Health Sciences August 2015 This Public Health Statement summarizes the Division of Toxicology and Human Health Science’s findings on endosulfan, tells you about it, the effects of exposure, and describes what you can do to limit that exposure. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) identifies the most serious hazardous waste sites in the nation. These sites make up the National Priorities List (NPL) and are sites targeted for long-term federal clean-up activities. U.S. EPA has found endosulfan in at least 176 of the 1,699 current or former NPL sites. The total number of NPL sites evaluated for endosulfan is not known. But the possibility remains that as more sites are evaluated, the sites at which endosulfan is found may increase. This information is important because exposure these future sites may be sources of exposure, and exposure to endosulfan may be harmful. If you are exposed to endosulfan, many factors determine whether you’ll be harmed. These include how much you are exposed to (dose), how long you are exposed (duration), and how you are exposed (route of exposure). You must also consider the other chemicals you are exposed to and your age, sex, diet, family traits, lifestyle, and state of health. WHAT IS ENDOSULFAN? Endosulfan is a restricted-use pesticide that is particularly effective against aphids, fruit worms, beetles, leafhoppers, moth larvae, and white flies on a wide variety of crops. It is not approved for residential use. It is sold as a mixture of two different forms of the same chemical (referred to as α- and β-endosulfan).

Hence, the integrated response of fenarimol in vivo is not easy to predict. In this study, we demonstrate that fenarimol is also estrogenic in vivo, causing significantly increased uterine weight in ovariectomized female rats. In addition, mRNA levels of the estrogen responsive gene lactoferrin (LF) were decreased in uteri, serum FSH levels were increased, and T3 levels decreased in fenarimol-treated animals. To our knowledge, only two other pesticides (o,p-DDT and methoxychlor) have previously been reported to induce an estrogenic response in the rodent uterotrophic bioassay. A pronounced xenoestrogenicity in serum samples from rats treated with fenarimol and estradiol benzoate (E2B) separately or in combination was observed, demonstrating the usefulness of this approach for estimating the integrated internal exposure to xenoestrogens.

  • (Danio Rerio) Embryos Using Immunofluorescence Microscopy
    American Journal of Undergraduate Research www.ajuronline.org Evaluating the Effects of Bisphenols F and S with Respect to Bisphenol A on Primordial Germ Cell Migration in Zebrafish (Danio rerio) Embryos Using Immunofluorescence Microscopy Siti Sarah Safura*#, George Roba#, & Edward Freeman Department of Biology, St. John Fisher College, NY https://doi.org/10.33697/ajur.2019.031 #both of these authors contributed equally to this work Students: [email protected]* and [email protected] Mentor: [email protected] ABSTRACT Primordial Germ Cell (PGC) migration occurs in early embryonic development and is highly conserved across taxa. PGC migration occurs within the first 24 hours post fertilization (hpf) in zebrafish, making the organism an efficient model for observing the migration pathway. Proper PGC migration is necessary for normal gonad development and, in some species, sex determination. Disruption of this process leads to defects in gonad formation and abnormal sex determination and differentiation. Studies show that endocrine-disrupting chemicals such as bisphenol A (BPA) disrupt PGC migration in zebrafish. BPA is an estrogenic compound that has been linked to a variety of human diseases, including various cancers, diabetes, reproductive disorders, obesity, and cardiovascular diseases. It is one of the most widely used synthetic compounds worldwide, as it is used to make polycarbonate plastics. Many studies provide evidence of the harmful effects of BPA on living organisms. In response, manufacturers have started to use replacements such as bisphenol F (BPF) and bisphenol S (BPS). However, due to their structural similarity, it is likely that BPF and BPS are just as harmful to organisms as BPA.
