Methods: Thirty-four dogs with natural flea infestations living in 17 homes were treated once with a fluralaner chew on study day 0. Another 27 dogs living in 17 different homes were treated orally with an afoxolaner chewable on day 0, once between days 28–30 and once again between days 54–60. All products were administered according to label directions by study investigators. Flea populations on pets were assessed using visual area counts and premise flea infestations were assessed using intermittent-light flea traps on days 0, 7, 14, 21, and once between days 28–30, 40–45, 54–60 and 82–86. Dermatologic assessments were conducted on day 0 and once monthly. Pruritus assessments were conducted by owners throughout the study. No concurrent treatments for existing skin disease (antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, anti-fungals) were allowed.

  • Neonicotinoid Insecticide Hydrolysis and Photolysis: Rates and Residual Toxicity
    Neonicotinoid Insecticide Hydrolysis and Photolysis: Rates and Residual Toxicity A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Stephen Anthony Todey IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE William Arnold May 2018 © Stephen Todey, 2018 ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank Bill for all his help and guidance throughout this project, and Ann Fallon, who completed all the parent and product toxicity experiments. Thank you to Xun Ming at the Masonic Cancer Center (University of Minnesota – Twin Cities) who helped to develop the UPLC – MS/MS method used for this research and helped to operate the Orbitrap Velos. Thanks to undergraduates Josh and Amit for the work they helped to complete in the lab, and for all the dishes they washed. Thank you to all the members of the Arnold Lab Group for making me feel welcome and helping me throughout the process of completing my masters. Extra special thanks to Jill Kerrigan, Andrew McCabe, and Sarah Pati for their guidance in experimental design and data analysis. Finally, thank you to my parents, Francis and Marianne Todey, and Jennifer Anderson. I would not have gone this far without your help and support. Funding for this project was provided by the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCCMR). i Abstract Neonicotinoid insecticides are currently the most widely used class of insecticides worldwide, accounting for 25% of total insecticide use. They are registered in 120 countries for use on more than 140 crops. Concern has grown, however, over their widespread detection in global surface waters, soil, finished drinking water, and wastewater, and for their potential role in colony collapse disorder in honey bees.

The overall objectives of the IPCS are to establish the scientific basis for assessment of the risk to human health and the environment from exposure to chemicals, through international peer review processes, as a prerequisite for the promotion of chemical safety, and to provide technical assistance in strengthening national capacities for the sound management of chemicals. This publication was developed in the IOMC context. The contents do not necessarily reflect the views or stated policies of individual IOMC Participating Organizations. The Inter-Organization Programme for the Sound Management of Chemicals (IOMC) was established in 1995 following recommendations made by the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development to strengthen cooperation and increase international coordination in the field of chemical safety. The Participating Organizations are: FAO, ILO, UNDP, UNEP, UNIDO, UNITAR, WHO, World Bank and OECD. The purpose of the IOMC is to promote coordination of the policies and activities pursued by the Participating Organizations, jointly or separately, to achieve the sound management of chemicals in relation to human health and the environment.

    Website: www.smartonpesticides.org Facebook: http://on.fb.me/Ut6rrX Twitter: @PesticidesSmart #beesafe Neonicotinoid-Free Consumer Pesticide Products Maryland citizens, scientists, beekeepers and healthcare advocates, are alarmed about the widespread use of neonicotinoid pesticides (aka neonics), in hundreds of home and garden consumer products. Neonics have been confirmed to contribute to honey bee mortality, declines in native pollinators, birds and aquatic life; are linked to the death of molting blue crabs; and pose a risk to human health. Neonics also kill beneficial insects, making landscapes chemically dependent for insect control. THERE ARE OVER 290 NEONIC-FREE PRODUCTS FOR COMMON PESTS THAT ARE SAFER FOR HONEYBEES.
