Homozygous multiple‐insecticide resistance in Australian invasive serpentine leafminer Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blanchard) (Diptera: Agromyzidae)

Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 1, February 2025.
Abstract In October 2020, Liriomyza huidobrensis (serpentine leafminer [SLM]) was first detected in Western Sydney, New South Wales (NSW), and subsequently Southern Queensland (QLD). Control failures were reported, and insecticide resistance was confirmed via bioassay, but mechanisms causing resistance remained unknown.

SUSCEPTIBILITY OF ANOPHELES FLUVIATILIS TO INSECTICIDES IN SOUTHERN IRAN [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Public Health, 1982
The first records of Anopheles fluviatilis resistance to DDT was reported in 1963 from India and to dieldrin from eastern Saudi Arabia in 1959. In southern Iran, antimalaria measures began in 1950 and up to 1957 the area was under DDT residual house ...

Determination of Dieldrin and Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Seawater by Solid Phase Extraction and Capillary Gas Chromatography

Yankuang ceshi, 2014
Dieldrin and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are toxic, organic pollutants that break down extremely slowly in the marine environment. Therefore, it is of valuable significance to establish a rapid, sensitive and accurate detection method for dieldrin ...

Reducing uncertainty in dose–response assessments by incorporating Bayesian benchmark dose modeling and in vitro data on population variability

Risk Analysis, Volume 45, Issue 2, Page 457-472, February 2025.
Abstract There are two primary sources of uncertainty in the interpretability of toxicity values, like the reference dose (RfD): estimates of the point of departure (POD) and the absence of chemical‐specific human variability data. We hypothesize two solutions—employing Bayesian benchmark dose (BBMD) modeling to refine POD determination and combining ...

Primates and disability: Behavioral flexibility and implications for resilience to environmental change

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 87, Issue 1, January 2025.
A photo of Nau, a Japanese macaque who was born with one eye, and the key highlights from the review article. Abstract Congenital malformations, conditions, injuries, and illness can lead to long‐term physical impairment and disability in nonhuman primates. How individual primates change their behaviors flexibly to compensate for their disabilities can

Photocatalytic removal of aldrin and dieldrin using graphene oxide and TiO2‐doped CuFe2O4

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, Volume 100, Issue 1, Page 138-154, January 2025.
Abstract BACKGROUND Conventional treatment processes and existing photocatalysts have proven insufficient in efficiently removing aldrin and dieldrin. Consequently, this study aimed to investigate the removal of aldrin and dieldrin from surface water using a titanium dioxide/graphene oxide/copper ferrite (TiO₂/GO/CuFe₂O₄) nanocomposite.
