The quest for the best target genes for RNAi‐mediated pest control
A major challenge for RNAi mediated pest control is the identification of the most effective RNAi target genes from the pool of ~37% of all genes that are essential. Effective RNAi target genes are predominantly highly conserved genes serving basic cellular functions such as protein degradation.

ABSTRACT Pesticide residues pose a significant risk to aquatic ecosystems, fauna and human health. Yet, the physiological impact on aquatic organisms, especially fish exposed to pesticide residues in the dry season, remains unexplored, and even data on chronic exposure to pesticide residue mixtures under natural environmental conditions remains scarce.

Persistent Organochlorine Pesticide Residues in Water, Sediments and Fish Samples from Ogbese River
This study considered the levels of 15 organochlorine pesticide (OCPs) residues (α-BHC, β- BHC, ϒ-BHC, lindane, chlorothalonil, heptachlor, aldrin, heptachlor epoxide, endosulfan I, endosulfan II, endrin, dieldrin, p, p'-DDD, p, p'-DDT and endosulfan ...

Abstract Objective We investigated in utero exposure to polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) 138, PCB 153, and PCB 180 and obesity at reproductive age in a three‐generation human cohort, i.e., the Child Health and Development Studies. Methods We used logistic models to estimate associations of PCBs in grandmothers' (F0) archived perinatal serum with obesity ...

Comparative gene expression analysis between susceptible and diflubenzuron‐resistant individuals of the mosquito Culex pipiens revealed transcriptional changes of multiple genes associated with insecticide detoxification and cuticle synthesis. Abstract Background Chitin‐synthesis inhibitors (CSIs) represent a major tool in vector control. The intensive

Organochlorine Pesticides and the Dairy Industry
Abstract Production and use of organochlorine pesticides has been declining in recent years. This suggests that residue problems will decrease, but the persistence of these materials in the environment means that some residues will be encountered for many years.
