Resmethrin (30 microM) induced release of transmitters was not affected by manipulation of the Na+ current with either choline or tetrodotoxin agents which readily reversed the effects of veratridine, deltamethrin and cypermethrin. Resmethrin (I50: 2.2 microM) inhibited the ATP dependent uptake of Ca2+ but deltamethrin and cypermethrin were much less effective. Resmethrin also displaced Ca2+ from crude synaptosomal membranes. The release promoting effects of resmethrin in rat brain in vitro are better explained by its effects on Ca2+ rather than through a specific effect on the Na+ channel. In contrast, the effects of deltamethrin and cypermethrin promote transmitter release by a Na+ dependent process.

This study characterizes the Aedes aegypti population from Fernando de Noronha Island, Pernambuco, Brazil, prior to implementing the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT). The main objective was to assess changes in glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzyme activity, previously linked to cypermethrin resistance in this population, in 2010. GST activity was measured in both male and female mosquitoes, masse produced in lab, after exposure to ionizing radiation.

Background: Effective vector control interventions, notably insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) are indispensable for malaria control in Tanzania and elsewhere. However, the emergence of widespread insecticide resistance threatens the efficacy of these interventions. Monitoring of insecticide resistance is, therefore, critical for the selection and assessment of the programmatic impact of insecticide-based interventions.

Potato is a highly nutritious staple food however, it also contains some antinutrients like alkaloids, phytates, tannins, oxalates as well as pesticide residues. Therefore, this study was conducted to reduce the loads of antinutrients and pesticides in potato powder (PP) using thermal and non-thermal processing techniques. Nutritional analysis revealed that the raw PP contained significantly ( < 0.

Background: Anoph known to be local malaria vector in South East Asia but recently found expanding to the horn of Africa including urban areas of Ethiopia. Recent studies indicated that high level of insecticide resistance to pyrethroid (Deltamethrin, permethrin and alpha-cypermethrin), Carbamates (Bendiocarb and Propoxur) and organophosphates (pirimiphos-methyl). The aim, of this study was to evaluate the susceptibility of from Diredawa against broflanilide, chlorfenapyr, clothianidin and pyriproxyfen.
