Emamectin Benzoate, a potent pesticide extensively used in agriculture, has raised concerns due to its potential for severe poisoning. While its safety in mammals is attributed to limited blood-brain barrier penetration and reduced affinity for specific channels, Emamectin Benzoate Poisoning can unexpectedly manifest with severe symptoms. Predominantly resulting from intentional ingestion, clinical presentations involve central nervous system depression, respiratory distress, gastrointestinal symptoms, and sore throat. Formulation solvents enhance toxicity, leading to corrosive injuries and metabolic imbalances. Skin contact induces irritation. Diagnosis relies on clinical evaluation, lacking specific laboratory data. Treatment lacks a designated antidote; hence, decontamination and cautious symptomatic management play pivotal roles. Severe cases require vigilant monitoring, with intensive care unit admission calling for altered consciousness and respiratory distress.

Emamectin benzoate (EB) is a highly effective broad-spectrum insecticide and acaricide. However, because EB is easily degraded, the conventional formulations of EB are often overapplied. In this study, polylactic acid (PLA)-based microspheres were prepared using the modified solvent evaporation method for the controlled release of EB.

Emamectin benzoate (EMB) is a widely used insecticide that can accumulate in aquatic environments under specific conditions of high application intensity or improper management, posing potential risks to aquatic organisms and human health. This study aimed to evaluate the reproductive toxicity of long-term EMB exposure in zebrafish (Danio rerio) and neurodevelopmental toxicity in their offspring. Zebrafish embryos were exposed to various concentrations of EMB (0, 0.

Background: The salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) is a parasite of wild and farmed salmonid fish, causing huge economic damage to the commercial farming of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in the northern hemisphere. The avermectin emamectin benzoate (EMB) is widely used for salmon delousing. While resistance to EMB is widespread in Atlantic populations of L.

Background: The rice stem borer, Chilo suppressalis Walker (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), is a damaging pest of rice worldwide. Following the evolution of C. suppressalis resistance to diamide and abamectin insecticides, emamectin benzoate (EB) became a key insecticide for the control of this species in China.
