In this study, a QuEChERS method based on citrate was developed and utilized for the analysis of twelve neonicotinoid pesticides in fresh red chilies, fresh green chilies, and dried chilies, coupled with ultra-high performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF/MS). In the sample preparation, acetonitrile containing 1% formic acid was used as the extraction solvent. Anhydrous sodium sulfate replaced the traditional anhydrous magnesium sulfate for water removal, effectively eliminating the issues of salt caking. Graphitized carbon black, octadecyl silica, and primary secondary amine were used as cleaning agents. The method showed good sensitivity, with the limits of quantification below 0.03 mg/kg for fresh chilies and below 0.15 mg/kg for dried chilies. Values of matrix effects ranged from -19.5% to 8.4%, and the recovery was 86.9% - 105.2%. The analytical method provided an effective tool for the high throughput detection of neonicotinoid pesticide residues in multiple chili matrices.

Neonicotinoid resistance is increasingly prevalent in the agricultural pest . Lipids play a critical role in insect defense systems, but their contribution to insect neonicotinoid resistance is disregarded. We conducted metabolomics and transcriptomics studies on thiacloprid-resistant (THG-R) and -susceptible (FFJ-S) populations.

Elevated resistance to pyrethroids in major malaria vectors has led to the introduction of novel insecticides including neonicotinoids. There is a fear that efficacy of these new insecticides could be impacted by cross-resistance mechanisms from metabolic resistance to pyrethroids. In this study, after evaluating the resistance to deltamethrin, clothianidin and mixture of clothianidin + deltamethrin in the lab using CDC bottle assays, the efficacy of the new IRS formulation Fludora® Fusion was tested in comparison to clothianidin and deltamethrin applied alone using experimental hut trials against wild free-flying pyrethroid-resistant Anopheles funestus from Elende and field An.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the presence of neonicotinoids (neonics) in pollen and nectar that honeybees collect, highlighting potential health risks for non-target organisms.
- Researchers collected and examined samples from 32 hives during March, April, and June, finding over half of the samples contained at least one neonic, with many having multiple types.
- The analysis showed that specific neonics were predominant in the samples, particularly in areas with citrus production, indicating that the study can effectively assess neonic exposure based on pollen and nectar collection.

The extensive global use of neonicotinoid insecticides (NNIs) has led to widespread human exposure, necessitating the development of effective methods for large-scale biomonitoring. However, current methods are inadequate in simultaneously and accurately detecting various NNIs or their metabolites (m-NNIs). In this study, we aimed to establish a robust method using solid-phase extraction (SPE)-ultra high performance liquid chromatography tandem Q-Orbitrap high resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS) for the simultaneous determination of 12 NNIs and 6 m-NNIs in human urine.
