BACKGROUND RESULTSMetarhizium anisopliae was transmitted between adult M. domestica flies with 91.67% -100% mortality resulting across the three ratios of infected: non-infected flies tested (1:2, 1:5, 1:10). The mean lethal time (LT50) for female recipients mixed with infected male donor flies at the three ratios were 3.95, 4.79 and 5.65 days, respectively, whereas for male recipients mixed with infected female donors at the same ratios the LT50 were 4.98, 5.98 and 7.44 days, respectively. Infection with M.anisopliae significantly reduced the reproductive capacity of female flies during the first four days of infection with 25% less eggs oviposited by infected flies than those that were uninfected. CONCLUSIONAutodissemination among house flies and reduction in oviposition in the early stages of infection could contribute significantly to the effectiveness of M. anisopliae used in biocontrol programs.

“…This class of fungicide can enhance TH hepatic metabolism through the induction of enzymes uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyl-transferase (UDPGT), thereby increasing biliary elimination of T 3 and T 4 ( 249 ). Reduction of TH level varies considerably depending on the class of azoles ( 250 ).…”

This review covers recent findings on the main categories of thyroid hormone–disrupting chemicals and their effects on brain development. We draw mostly on epidemiological and experimental data published in the last decade. For each chemical class considered, we deal with not only the thyroid hormone–disrupting effects but also briefly mention the main mechanisms by which the same chemicals could modify estrogen and/or androgen signalling, thereby exacerbating adverse effects on endocrine-dependent developmental programmes. Further, we emphasize recent data showing how maternal thyroid hormone signalling during early pregnancy affects not only offspring IQ, but also neurodevelopmental disease risk. These recent findings add to established knowledge on the crucial importance of iodine and thyroid hormone for optimal brain development. We propose that prenatal exposure to mixtures of thyroid hormone–disrupting chemicals provides a plausible biological mechanism contributing to current increases in the incidence of neurodevelopmental disease and IQ loss.

“…Additionally, these compounds are widely distributed in the environment and have been detected in water, soil, sewage sludge, sediment, and the aquatic biota [49][50][51][52][53][54]. In human beings, they may increase the risk of psychiatric [55] and endocrine-disrupting disorders [56] and promote renal, neurological, hepatic, and reproductive problems, even in low levels [57][58][59]. For these reasons, the monitoring of such compounds in the environment is an urgent demand.…”

Carbon nanotubes have received enormous attention in the development of electrochemical sensors by promoting electron transfer reactions, decreasing the work overpotential within great surface areas. The growing concerns about environmental health emphasized the necessity of continuous monitoring of pollutants. Pesticides have been successfully used to control agricultural and public health pests; however, intense use can cause a number of damages for biodiversity and human health. In this sense, carbon nanotubes-based electrochemical sensors have been proposed for pesticide monitoring combining different electrode modification strategies and electroanalytical techniques. In this paper, we provide a review of the recent advances in the use of carbon nanotubes for the construction of electrochemical sensors dedicated to the environmental monitoring of pesticides. Future directions, perspectives, and challenges are also commented.
