Effectiveness of Essential Oils and Their Components Against Triatoma infestans (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)
AbstractPurpose of ReviewChagas disease is a neglected tropical disease caused by the protozoan parasite calledTrypanosoma cruzi affecting 7 –8 million people in the world.Triatoma infestans (Klug) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) is the main vector of Chagas disease in the southern cone of South America. Genetic evidence indicates thatT. infestans originated in the Cochabamba region, Sucre, in Central Bolivia, where there are jungle sites of this species, and from which the domestic species is believed to derive, currently distributed in Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay. Chemical control of the vector by spraying ...

Residues of pyrethroids and triazoles pesticides in water and sediment of certain Egyptian watercourses: assessing their influence on fungal diversity
In conclusion, contamination of water with pesticides affected fungal diversity. This disturbance in fungal assemblages might result in a reduction of some key organisms, or an increase and emergence of new pathogens.PMID:37771319 | DOI:10.1080/03601234.2023.2263191 (Source: Journal of Environmental Science and Health.

Insecticide susceptibility status on Aedes aegypti (Linn) and Aedes albopictus (Skuse) of Chittorgarh district, Rajasthan, India
This study was carried out to check the degree of resistance among these vectors in the Chittorgarh district of Rajasthan, India through standard World Health Organization protocol. The resistance was monitored to pyrethroids i.e., deltamethrin (0.05%), permethrin (0.75%), alphacypermethrin (0.05%); organochlorine i.e., DDT (4%), and an organophosphate larvicide i.e., temephos (0.02 mg/L) in both vector species. Complete resistance to DDT was observed among all tested populations of both species. All tested populations of Aedes albopictus were found susceptible to pyrethroids. Aedes aegypti was found resistant in the Manga...

Quantitative proteomics analysis of permethrin and temephos-resistant < i > Ae < /i > . < i > aegypti < /i > revealed diverse differentially expressed proteins associated with insecticide resistance from Penang Island, Malaysia
In this study, we evaluated the susceptibility ofAe.aegypti from Penang Island dengue hotspot and non-hotspot against 0.75% permethrin and 31.25 mg/l temephos using WHO bioassay method. Protein extracts from the mosquitoes were then analysed using LC –ESI–MS/MS for protein identification and quantification via label-free quantitative proteomics (LFQ). Next, Perseus 1.6.14.0 statistical software was used to perform differential protein expression analysis using ANOVA and Student’s t-test. The t-test selected proteins with≥2.0-fold change (FC) and ≥2 unique peptides for gene expression validation via qPCR. Finally,...

Effects of pyrethroid and organophosphate insecticides on reared black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens)
This study aimed to investigate the effects of six different pyrethroid and organophosphate insecticides on this insect species ’ performance. The toxicity of two “model” substances for each of these classes (cypermethrin; pirimiphos-methyl) was quantified, with and without the synergist piperonyl butoxide (PBO). Critical effect doses corresponding to 10% yield (CED10) for cypermethrin (0.4 mg/kg) and pirimiphos-methyl (4.8 mg/kg) were determined. The addition of PBO to cypermethrin enhanced its relative potency with a factor 2.6. These data were compared against the relative toxicity of two analogue substances in ea...

Autophagy perturbation upon acute pyrethroid treatment impacts adipogenic commitment of mesenchymal stem cells
Pestic Biochem Physiol. 2023 Sep;195:105566. doi: 10.1016/j.pestbp.2023.105566. Epub 2023 Aug 4.ABSTRACTEnvironmental chemical exposure can cause dysregulation in adipogenesis that can result in metabolic syndrome, which includes insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, as well as excessive body weight. The role of autophagy in adipocyte differentiation is debatable since both positive and negative effects have been reported. Type-I and type-II synthetic pyrethroids α-cypermethrin (CPM) and permethrin (PER), respectively, are reported to increase adipogenesis in vitro and in vivo. However, it is not kn...
