“…Live snails were recorded after 1, 3, 7, 14, and 21 days till the application was completed. The reduction percentage was calculated according to the following equation: % reduction = 100 [ 1 − t 2 r 1 t 1 r 2 ] where r 1 and r 2 are the live snails’ numbers in the untreated plots before and after treatment, while t 1 and t 2 are the live snails’ numbers in treated plots before and after treatment, respectively.…”

Eobania vermiculata is a hazardous snail that can damage ornamental plants and cause significant harm to plant sections in Egyptian areas. Herein, the molluscicidal activity of CuPb−Ferrite/TiO 2 and TiO 2 nanoparticles (NPs) against E. vermiculata was evaluated using the poisonous bait method. LC50 values were determined using the leaf dipping and contact methods, with values of 631.23 and 1703.49 ppm for CuPb−Ferrite/TiO 2 and 193.67 and 574.97 ppm for TiO 2 . Exposure to both NPs resulted in a significant increase in the biochemical parameters of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), as well as a decrease in total protein (TP) percentage of E. vermiculata. Histological examinations revealed that many digestive cells had ruptured, and their contents had been lost, while the foot's epithelial layer became ruptured. The average reduction was 66.36% for CuPb−Ferrite/TiO 2 NPs compared to the recommended molluscicide, Neomyl, with a 70.23% reduction in the field application. Electrophoretic separation of total protein using sodium dodecyl sulfatepolyacrylamide gel electrophoresis after treatment with LC50 concentrations of TiO 2 and CuPb−Ferrite/TiO 2 demonstrated the potency of these synthetic compounds as molluscicidal agents. Therefore, we recommend the use of CuPb−Ferrite/TiO 2 NPs as a novel land snail molluscicide because it is safe to use, and the baits are arranged to not affect irrigation water, with a high molluscicidal effect.

“…Following reports of pesticides impacting and shaping the occurrence of global freshwater biodiversity, various criteria based on ecologically relevant risk estimates have been explored to protect aquatic life from pesticide stress [9,14,29,[35][36][37][38][39][40]. Furthermore, the use of integrated biomarker endpoints in evaluating and visualizing chemical exposure effects on aquatic organisms is still not widely applied [41]. The present study sought to assess the chronic toxic impact of diazinon on hematological indices (hemoglobin, whole erythrocyte count, whole leucocyte count, mean corpuscular hemoglobin), morphometric indices (condition index, liver-body index, specific growth rate), endocrine indices (somatotrophic hormone, liothyronine, thyroxine) and biochemical indices (whole serum protein, whole serum glucose) of air-breathing catfish, Clarias batrachus.…”

Diazinon exposures have been linked to the onset of toxic pathways and adverse outcomes in aquatic species, but the ecological implications on model species are not widely emphasized. The objective of this study was to determine how the organophosphate pesticide diazinon affected hematological (hemoglobin, total red blood count, total white blood count, and mean corpuscular hemoglobin), growth (condition factor, hepatosomatic index, specific growth rate), biochemical (total serum glucose, total serum protein), and endocrine (growth hormone, tri-iodothyronine, and thyroxine) parameters in Clarias batrachus after chronic exposure. Diazinon was administered at predefined exposure doses (0.64 and 1.28 mg/L) and monitored at 15, 30, and 45 days into the investigation. Observation for most biomarkers revealed patterns of decreasing values with increasing toxicant concentration and exposure duration. Correlation analysis highlighted a significant inverse relationship between variables (mean corpuscular hemoglobin, condition factor, specific growth rate, tri-iodothyronine, thyroxine, and total serum protein) and elevated chronic diazinon exposure concentrations. The integrated indices (IBR and BRI) indexes were used to provide visual and understandable depictions of toxicity effects and emphasized the relativity of biomarkers in terms of sensitivity and magnitude or severity of responses under graded toxicant exposures. The significant damage reflected by evaluated parameters in diazinon exposure groups compared to control portends risks to the health of local fish populations, including Clarias batrachus in aquatic systems adjacent to agrarian landscapes.

Accumulation of pollutants in the aquatic system has a high impact on the reproductive physiology of crustaceans. The objective of the present study was to assess the possible histopathological effects of combined chlorpyrifos and cypermethrin (nurocombi) exposure on reproductive tissue in male freshwater crab Paratelphusa jacquemontii using light and electron microscopy. The testis of experimental crabs showed disorganization of testicular lobules, increased inters cellular space, necrosis, and cellular damage in both germinal cells and Sertoli cells. The treated vas deferens exhibited epithelial degeneration, misshaped spermatophores, decline in the number of spermatophores, and dehiscence of spermatophore wall. These clinical manifestations expressed in crabs following the exposure of nurocombi significantly reduce the testicular activity and substantially inhibits the seminal secretions, which ultimately lead to impairment of reproduction.
