TL;DR: Investigation of the developmental toxicity of six common pyrethroids and zebrafish embryos suggested that zebra fish may be an appropriate alternative model to study the mechanism(s) responsible for the developmental neurotoxicity of pyrethroid insecticides and aid in identification of compounds that should be further tested in mammalian systems.

TL;DR: Mouse intracerebral toxicity studies with 29 pyrethroids confirm earlier mouse intraperitoneal and rat oral and intravenous findings in three respects that α-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl esters produce choreoathetosis, convulsions, and salivation, indicating the importance of the brain in the Type II poisoning syndrome.

TL;DR: It is shown that pyrethroids commonly occur in urban stream sediments and may be contributing to sediment toxicity across the country and the variation in pyrethroid concentrations among metropolitan areas suggests regional differences inpyrethroid use and transport processes.
Abstract: A nationally consistent approach was used to assess the occurrence and potential sources of pyrethroid insecticides in stream bed sediments from seven metropolitan areas across the United States. One or more pyrethroids were detected in almost half of the samples, with bifenthrin detected the most frequently (41%) and in each metropolitan area. Cyhalothrin, cypermethrin, permethrin, and resmethrin were detected much less frequently. Pyrethroid concentrations and Hyalella azteca mortality in 28-d tests were lower than in most urban stream studies. Log-transformed total pyrethroid toxic units (TUs) were significantly correlated with survival and bifenthrin was likely responsible for the majority of the observed toxicity. Sampling sites spanned a wide range of urbanization and log-transformed total pyrethroid concentrations were significantly correlated with urban land use. Dallas/Fort Worth had the highest pyrethroid detection frequency (89%), the greatest number of pyrethroids (4), and some of the highest ...

TL;DR: This work characterized individual dose-response curves for in vivo motor function and calculated relative potencies for eleven commonly used pyrethroids to test the hypothesis of dose-additivity of pyre Throids.

TL;DR: The frequency of this gene for malathion resistance in T. castaneum was sufficiently high to contribute to control failures in the field and was more resistant than T. confusum.
Abstract: Field strains of confused flour beetle, Tribolium confusum Jacquelin du Val, and red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), were collected from flour mills throughout the United States and tested with discriminating doses to determine their resistance to pesticides. Of 17 strains of T. confusum , 82% were resistant to malathion, 53% were resistant to chlorpyrifos-methyl, 24% were resistant to dichlorvos, 18% were resistant to phosphine, and none was resistant to synergized pyrethrins or resmethrin. Of 28 strains of T. castaneum , 93% were resistant to malathion, 64% were resistant to dichlorvos, 46% were resistant to phosphine, 36% were resistant to chlorpyrifos-methyl, and none was resistant to synergized pyrethrins or resmethrin. Generally, T. castaneum was more resistant than T. confusum . The frequency of this gene for malathion resistance in T. castaneum was sufficiently high to contribute to control failures in the field.
