“…The mutagenicity of dichlorvos has been extensively studied and reviewed (IARC, 1991;Moutschen-Dahmen et al, 1984;Wild, 1975). In bacteria and yeast, dichlorvos was found to have a mutagenic effect by many studies (Ashwood-Smith, 1972;Benigni et al, 1980;Kada et al, 1980;Nagy et al, 1975;Shirasu et al, 1976;Voogd et al, 1972).…”

“…However, the DNA-alkylating ability of dichlorvos in vivo has been found to be very weak (FAO/WHO, 1993;Segerback, 1981). Dichlorvos has also been found to be more mutagenic in strains of DNA polymerase-deficient bacteria, indicating that the DNA repair machinery may play a role in preventing some of the dichlorvos damage (Moutschen-Dahmen et al, 1984;Rosenkranz, 1973). In contrast, another study found dichlorvos to be mutagenic in both excision-repair competent, as well as excision-repair deficient strains of Escherichia coli (Nagy et al, 1975).…”

Male mice (Q strain) received two consecutive injections of organophosphorus insecticides: a phosphonate (trichlorfon) was combined to a thiophosphate (methylparathion) or a dithiophosphate (malathion or methylazinphos) in order to evaluate the interactions at the genetic and cytogenetic levels.No increase in chromosome damage was observed in bone marrow cells, spermatogonia, and primary spermatocytes. In a dominant lethal mutation assay, the frequency of postimplantation lethality was not significantly increased over the control level. The percentage of preimplantation losses was enhanced, probably due to a toxic effect on male germ cells.
