Effect of Diafenthiuron exposure under short and long term experimental conditions on hematology, serum biochemical profile and elemental composition of a non-target organism, Labeo rohita

Comparative assessment of the acute toxicity, haematological and genotoxic effects of ten commonly used pesticides on the African Catfish, Clarias gariepinus Burchell 1822

“…According to Singh and Srivastava (2010) , the RBC elevation may be due to blood cell reserve combined with cell shrinkage as a result of osmotic alterations of blood by the actions of the pesticides. In agreement with results of the present study, Riaz-ul-Haq et al. (2018) have previously observed an increase in HCT (or PCV) of freshwater fish Channa punctatus exposed to endosulphan pesticide.…”

“…In agreement with results of the present study, Riaz-ul-Haq et al (2018) have previously observed an increase in HCT (or PCV) of freshwater fish Channa punctatus exposed to endosulphan pesticide. The significant decrease in the MCH and MCHC level of fishes exposed to sub-lethal concentrations of Abamectin and Fipronil in this study is a good indicator of RBC swelling in the fish which has been related to hypoxia.…”

Development of a gold nanoparticle-based lateral flow immunoassay for the fast detection of diafenthiuron in cabbage and apples

“…[1][2][3][4][5] In insects under ultraviolet irradiation or multifunctional oxidases, inactive DIAF is converted into a biologically active carbodiimide, which acts as a mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) inhibitor, thus affecting insect respiration, resulting in death. 6,7 In addition, the carbodiimide derivative is quickly degraded into amide and urea metabolites, which are more toxic than DIAF. 8 Moreover, in mammals the decomposition products of DIAF are toxic to target organs such as the liver and lungs, and the widespread use of DIAF will inevitably lead to environmental pollution and threaten human health.…”
