Filariasis and virus diseases that are transmitted by are still a global health problem. Control of mosquito vectors with synthetic insecticides causes resistance to these mosquitoes to insecticides so that detection of susceptibility of the mosquito larval stage to insecticides is important for evaluating mosquito control programs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the susceptibility of wild-caught larvae in Jakarta, Indonesia, following exposure to temephos, malathion, cypermethrin, and deltamethrin; this was done by examining the detoxifying enzyme activities and histological damage to the larval midgut.

This study evaluated the resistance of head lice to permethrin and 6-paradol mediated by detoxification enzyme activity experiments and to describe physical changes in the lice using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
Materials And Methods: The adult stages of were collected from patients exposed to 1% permethrin and three different concentrations of 6-paradol (0.

Background: In a hypoxic state, fatty acid breakdown reaction may be inhibited due to a lack of oxygen. It is likely that the fatty acids will be stored as triacylglycerol. The aim of this study was to analyse triacylglycerol synthesis in the liver after intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (HH) exposures.

Aims: The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of hydrogen peroxide (HO) on human sperm quality parameters and cell survival.
