The pyriproxyfen metabolite 4'OH- pyriproxyfen disrupts thyroid hormone signaling and enhances Musashi-1 levels in neuroprogenitors. [PDF]
, 2018 Epidemiological and experimental studies have raised questions as to whether the insecticide pyriproxyfen (PPF) could be implicated in the increased incidence of microcephaly associated with ZIKA infection during pregnancy. This pesticide is documented as a thyroid hormone (TH) disrupting chemical.

Over-expression of a cytochrome P450 is associated with resistance to pyriproxyfen in the greenhouse whitefly Trialeurodes vaporariorum. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The juvenile hormone mimic, pyriproxyfen is a suppressor of insect embryogenesis and development, and is effective at controlling pests such as the greenhouse whitefly Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood) which are resistant to other chemical classes of ...

PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020 Exposure of adult mosquitoes to pyriproxyfen (PPF), an analog of insect juvenile hormone (JH), has shown promise to effectively sterilize female mosquitoes. However, the underlying mechanisms of the PPF-induced decrease in mosquito fecundity are largely unknown.

Dissipation study of ten insecticides in apples under field conditions. [PDF]
J Sci Food AgricAbstract BACKGROUND Apples are among the most widely cultivated fruits in temperate climate zone. Given the potential of pests and diseases to cause significant damage to fruit production, orchardists rely on using insecticides and fungicides in infested orchards to protect apple yields.

Community effectiveness of pyriproxyfen as a dengue vector control method: A systematic review.
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017 BackgroundVector control is the only widely utilised method for primary prevention and control of dengue. The use of pyriproxyfen may be promising, and autodissemination approach may reach hard to reach breeding places. It offers a unique mode of action (

Comparison between standard and drift reducing nozzles for pesticide application in citrus: Part II. Effects on canopy spray distribution, control efficacy of Aonidiella aurantii (Maskell), beneficial parasitoids and pesticide residues on fruit [PDF]
, 2017 Venturi nozzles are often recommended to reduce drift, which is one of the major pollution sources caused by the application of plant protection products on high growing crops. The coarse droplets produced by this type of nozzle could however also affect
