BackgroundPyrethroid pesticides (PYRs) can cross the placental barrier to cause intrauterine fetal exposure, which may lead to developmental immunotoxicity (DIT). However, the specific effect of maternal PYR exposure dur...

Abstract Agroecological transitions face a dual imperative: reducing pesticide reliance and minimising soil disturbance for climate mitigation. However, the blanket promotion of no-till practices may hinder ecological in...

Abstract Many pests and diseases affect agricultural and commercial crops, resulting in potential yield losses. It has been shown that microbial biocontrol agents, such as Bacillus species, are efficient alternatives to ...

Thiamethoxam (TMX) is a systemic pesticide that safeguards both perennial and annual crops from pests but presents environmental risks. Effective pesticide regulation requires a thorough understanding of farmers’ behav...

Pyrethroid insecticides are widely used indoors in residential, commercial, and occupational pest-control settings and are generally regarded as safe because of their relatively low acute toxicity. This perception is lar...

Evidence links pesticides to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), but the combined effects of dietary pesticide residue mixture exposure on NAFLD remain poorly documented. This study employed a 42-day subchronic exp...
