The pesticide and veterinary drug residues brought by large-scale agricultural production have become one of the issues in the fields of food safety and environmental ecological security. It is necessary to develop the rapid, sensitive, qualitative and quantitative methodology for the detection of pesticide and veterinary drug residues. As one of the achievements of nanoscience, quantum dots (QDs) have been widely used in the detection of pesticide and veterinary drug residues. In these methodology studies, the used QD-signal styles include fluorescence, chemiluminescence, electrochemical luminescence, photoelectrochemistry, etc. QDs can also be assembled into sensors with different materials, such as QD-enzyme, QD-antibody, QD-aptamer, and QD-molecularly imprinted polymer sensors, etc. Plenty of study achievements in the field of detection of pesticide and veterinary drug residues have been obtained from the different combinations among these signals and sensors. They are summarized in this paper to provide a reference for the QD application in the detection of pesticide and veterinary drug residues.

Background: Emodepside is an anthelmintic used in veterinary medicine that is currently under investigation in human clinical trials for the treatment of soil-transmitted helminths and possibly Onchocerca volvulus. Emodepside targets the calcium-activated voltage-gated potassium slowpoke 1 (SLO-1) channels of presynaptic nerves of pharynx and body wall muscle cells of nematodes leading to paralysis, reduced locomotion and egg laying, starvation, and death. Emodepside also has activity against Drosophila melanogaster SLO-1 channels.

The widespread and excessive agricultural use of azole fungicide tebuconazole poses a major threat to pollinator species including honey bee colonies as highlighted by recent studies. This issue is of growing importance, due to the intensification of modern agriculture and the increasing amount of the applied chemicals, serving as a major and recent problem from both an ecotoxicological and an agricultural point of view. The present study aims to detect the effects of acute sublethal tebuconazole exposure focusing on the redox homeostasis of honey bee flight muscles.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents one of the biggest threats to health globally. The rise of AMR has been largely attributed to the misuse and abuse of antimicrobials in veterinary, human, and agricultural medicine. This study aimed to assess human, livestock, and agricultural health profiles, and practices of One Health and antibiotic use through a situational analysis of an Indigenous village Gurah, in a rural area of Mohali district in Punjab state using a demographic and facility survey.

Emamectin benzoate (EMB) is an antibiotic insecticide pesticide modified from avermectin. In the current study, we performed an in-depth investigation of the protective effects of epicatechin on EMB-induced liver injury in common carps. The carps were cultured in an aquatic environment containing 2.

The safety of dairy products is intrinsically linked to consumer health, and the exceedance of risk indicators, such as pesticide and veterinary drug residues, constitutes one of the primary issues affecting their quality and safety. To assess the safety of dairy products, it is crucial to develop accurate and reliable analytical methods for their detection. Food safety testing involving important indicators such as pesticide residues, veterinary drug residues, mycotoxins and unapproved additives has become a pivotal requirement in the industry field.
