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.

Multigenerational effects of the insecticide Pyriproxyfen and recovery in Daphnia magna
Science of The Total Environment, 2023 In the present study, an ecotoxicological approach to the evaluation of the insecticide Pyriproxifen in the crustacean Daphnia magna was done. Acute toxicity tests (48 h), feeding behavior test (5 h) and chronic toxicity test (21 days) were carried out on a parental daphnid generation (F0). Pyriproxifen D.

Pyriproxyfen enhances the immunoglobulin G immune response in mice [PDF]
Microbiology and Immunology, 2013 ABSTRACTPyriproxyfen is a juvenile hormone mimic of vital importance for insect development with little risk to humans. This study was performed to investigate whether large doses of pyriproxyfen affect the immune response in mammals. Mice were immunized thrice with ovalbumin in 5% ethanol, with or without pyriproxyfen or alum.

Use of pyriproxyfen in control of Aedes mosquitoes: A systematic review
PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020 Dengue is the most rapidly spreading arboviral disease in the world. The current lack of fully protective vaccines and clinical therapeutics creates an urgent need to identify more effective means of controlling Aedes mosquitos, principally Aedes aegypti, as the main vector of dengue.
