Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Environmental pollution by emerging contaminants such as nanoplastics (NPs) and graphene oxide (GO) represents a growing threat to global health and ecosystems. This study investigated the effects of parental exposure, both isolated and combined, to 100 μg/L NPs (polystyrene, spherical, 100 nm) and 100 mg/L GO, using Caenorhabditis elegans as ...

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aedes aegypti, a critical vector for tropical diseases, poses significant challenges for studying its embryogenesis due to difficulties in removing its rigid chorion and achieving effective fixation for in situ hybridization. Here, we present novel methodologies for fixation, dechorionation, DAPI staining, and in situ hybridization, enabling ...

Cytotoxic and Immunological Effects of Terpinolene and 1-butyl-3,4-methylenedioxybenzene on Aedes aegypti Larvae. [PDF]
Arch Insect Biochem PhysiolThe terpinolene + BMDB association caused severe midgut damage, increased apoptosis, reduced proliferation, and immune suppression in Ae. aegypti larvae, indicating that sublethal effects, despite higher LC50, compromise larval recovery and represent a promising strategy for integrated vector management.
