A new, fast, selective and sensitive method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of nine organothiophosphorus (OTP) pesticides, namely omethoate, dimethoate, disulfoton-sulfoxide, methidathion, phosmet, malathion, diazinon, pirimiphos-methyl and chlorpyrifos. The pesticides were separated on a Kinetex C18 column by gradient elution with acetonitrile:water. A post-column basic hydrolysis of the pesticides and later a chemiluminescence (CL) reaction with cerium (IV) in acid medium was carried out. Hexadecylpyridinium chloride highly enhanced the CL emission. Under optimized conditions, linearity, precision, limits of detection and quantification, and accuracy were determined. Both selectivity and sensitivity were compared with those obtained with UV detection. In combination with SPE, limits of detection in the range 15-80ng/L and 5-30ng/L were obtained when 250mL and 1000mL of solution were treated, respectively. When applied to 250mL of sample the inter-day precision of the method was between 3.5% and 7.3% and the intra-day precision between 2.9% and 6.0%. The method was applied to determine OTP pesticides in spiked water samples from different origins: irrigation, river, sea, ground, spring, mineral and tap waters, being the percentage of recovery of added amounts near 100% form most of the pesticides.

To keep ahead of the evolution of resistance to insecticides in mosquitoes, national malaria control programmes must make use of a range of insecticides, both old and new, while monitoring resistance mechanisms. The outdoor-biting malaria vector Anopheles arabiensis is of increasing concern for malaria transmission because it is apparently less susceptible to many indoor control interventions, yet knowledge of its mechanisms of resistance remains limited. Furthermore, comparatively little is known in general about resistance to non-pyrethroid insecticides such as pirimiphos-methyl (PM), which are crucial for effective control in the context of globally high resistance to pyrethroids.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the negative impacts of nanopolystyrene (NP) and phoxim (PHO), a common pesticide, on the intestines and gut microbiota of adult crabs over 21 days, highlighting serious histopathological changes, including vacuolar degeneration in epithelial cells.
- Exposure to NP and/or PHO significantly disrupted the balance of intestinal microbiota, increasing harmful bacteria while decreasing helpful ones, particularly noting the rise of pathogens like Spiroplasma and Arcobacter.
- Metabolomic analysis indicated changes in key metabolic pathways, with NP and PHO exposure affecting processes like arachidonic acid metabolism and downregulating neuroactive interactions, suggesting that these substances

Article Synopsis
- Significant concerns have been raised regarding the environmental pollutants phoxim (PHO) and nanopolystyrene (NP) and their effects on the hepatopancreas of Eriocheir sinensis (a type of crab) when exposed to realistic concentrations.
- Subchronic exposure to NP and/or PHO for 21 days caused histological damage, reduced the number of healthy cells, and impaired protective barriers in the hepatopancreas, indicating a toxic effect on this organ.
- The study also found that both individual and combined exposures led to inflammation and disrupted the expression of genes related to oxidative stress, mucus production, and immune response, confirming that NP and PHO pose significant risks to crustacean health.
