“…They thus recommend using earthworms that have been bred under known laboratory conditions. Finally, the earthworm body part used in tests varies from one study to another and infra-individual/individual studies on the whole organism or on a specific tissue may give different results (Gao et al 2008;LaCourse et al 2009). …”

Earthworms provide key soil functions that favour many positive ecosystem services. These services are important for agroecosystem sustainability but can be degraded by intensive cultural practices such as use of pesticides. Many literature reports have investigated the effect of pesticides on earthworms. Here, we review those reports to assess the relevance of the indicators of earthworm response to pesticides, to assess their sensitivity to pesticides, and to highlight the remaining knowledge gaps. We focus on European earthworm species and products authorised in Europe, excluding natural compounds and metals. We consider different organisation levels: the infra-individual level (gene expression and physiology), the individual and population levels (life-history traits, population density and behaviour) and the community level: community biomass and density. Our analysis shows that earthworms are impacted by pesticides at all organisation levels. For example, pesticides disrupt enzymatic activities, increase individual mortality, decrease fecundity and growth, change individual behaviour such as feeding rate and decrease the overall community biomass and density.Insecticides and fungicides are the most toxic pesticides impacting survival and reproduction, respectively.

“…But the specific effect mechanism still left for further research. EFLX can inhibit the cutting and connecting of enzyme through combining to the subunit-A of DNA gyrase of bacterial, and then prevent the replication of bacterial DNA, so which can kill mostly G-bacteria (Gao et al 2008). Wheat exhibit a very strongly resistance to the stress of EFLX, this was perhaps related to the target molecule of drug effects and resistant mechanism of wheat plants themselves.…”

Investigation of the toxic effects of three veterinary drugs [sulfadiazine sodium (SDS), sulfamonomethoxine sodium (SMMS), and enrofloxacin (EFLX)] on seed germination, root elongation and shoot elongation of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris L.) and tomato (Cyphomandra betacea) was carried out. Significant linear relationships between the root and shoot elongation and the concentration of veterinary drugs addition were observed. The effects of the three veterinary drugs on seed germination of wheat, Chinese cabbages and tomato were not significant (P > 0.05), but on shoot and root elongation they were markedly significant (P < 0.05). The inhibitory rates of veterinary drugs on root and shoot elongation of crops were significantly stronger than that on seed germination. Based on IC(50) (drugs concentration when 50% plants show inhibition) of root elongation, wheat was the most sensitive plant to the toxicity of SDS with a IC(50) value as high as 28.1 mg/kg; Chinese cabbage was the most sensitive plant to the toxicity of SMMS with a IC(50) value as high as 27.1 mg/kg; tomato was the most sensitive plant to the toxicity of EFLX with a IC(50) value as high as 125.7 mg/kg. The toxic effects of sulfadiazine sodium and sulfamonometh-oxine sodium on the three crops were much higher than that of enrofloxacin.

Occurrence, composition and risk assessment of antibiotics in soils from Kenya, Africa

Antibiotics can accumulate in soils via different ways, which may pose serious threat to ecological environment of soil and quality of agricultural products. In this study, the occurrence of 12 antibiotics including four sulfonamides (SAs), four tetracyclines (TETs) and four fluoroquinolones (FQs) was investigated in soils from four sampling sites of Kenya (Mai Mahiu, Narok, Mount Suswa Conservancy, and Juja), Africa. The soils in suburban area of Narok had the highest average concentrations of total 12 antibiotics with an average value of 43.64 μg kg(-1) dw (dry weight), followed by Mai Mahiu (26.70 μg kg(-1) dw), Juja (24.41 μg kg(-1) dw) and Mount Suswa Conservancy (12.21 μg kg(-1) dw). Sulfamethoxazole, sulfamethazine, oxytetracycline, and enrofloxacin were identified as the main antibiotics polluted in soils. Total organic carbon may influence the distribution of SAs in Narok and FQs in Juja. Ecological risk analysis based on the risk quotient showed that SAs detected in soils have higher risk compared to TETs and FQs.
