Embryotoxicity of industrial chemicals on the chicken embryo: Dithiocarbamates

“…Although opinions have been divided on the usefulness of the chicken embryo in predicting teratogenicity [9], more recently the system has been increasingly appreciated for reasons such as inexpensiveness, sensitivity, and parallelism to mammalian morphological development [4]. The chicken embryo may be regarded as a "semi in vitro" test system, which is simpler to use than the actual in vitro organ culture systems.…”

Application of the chicken embryo in testing for embryotoxicity: thiurams.

“…Although opinions have been divided on the usefulness of the chicken embryo in predicting teratogenicity (9), more recently the system has been increasingly appreciated for reasons such as inexpensiveness, sensitivity, and parallelism to mammalian morphological development (8). A central problem in teratology is the species specificity of a teratogenic effect.…”

Parental occupation and birth outcome in an agricultural community.

“…remains ob scure in over 65 % of the cases (20). Birth defects, however, represent only a fraction of the possible fetotoxic outcomes.…”
