Diflubenzuron Induces Cardiotoxicity in Zebrafish Embryos [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022 Diflubenzuron is an insecticide that serves as a chitin inhibitor to restrict the growth of many harmful larvae, including mosquito larvae, cotton bollworm and flies. The residue of diflubenzuron is often detected in aquaculture, but its potential toxicity to aquatic organisms is still obscure.
