-
- Results revealed significant damage to cell structures in the ovaries and midguts, including yolk granules and organelles, affecting the ticks' ability to digest food and reproduce. !*
-
- The observed cellular damage suggests that exposure to dinotefuran impairs vital physiological functions, ultimately leading to decreased fertility and potential death of the affected ticks. !*
