Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHeavy Metals Content and Ecotoxicity of Sediments from the Congo RiverDidier Makonko Mabidi, Honoré Manyingu Mutwejile, Georgette Ngakiama Beni Ngweme et al.This research aimed to quantify the contamination of Congo River sediments by heavy metals and to evaluate their ecotoxicological effects in the municipalities of Maluku, Gombe, and Kinsuka, Kinshasa Province. Metal concentrations in sediments reached 340 mg kg-1 for Cr, 310 mg kg-1 for Cu, 826 mg kg-1 for Zn, 63 mg kg-1 for as, 1.9 mg kg-1 for Cd, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 9 Nov 2024 · 6,046 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDetermining the Effect of Sediment Resuspension from the Activity of Phenoloxidase in Penaeid Shrimp Post LarvaeNapaporn Leadprathom, Pornpimon Teangtarn, Kedsiri Ing-kanorn et al.Problem statement: Regular sediment resuspension or dredging in coastal zones can induce stress in a postlaval penaeid shrimp, which affects immune response. Phenoloxidase is a significant enzyme in the penaeid shrimp’s immune system which, when used as a biomarker, can serve as an early warning sign in ecological systems. The stress response of shrimp postlarvae from sediment reuspension was analyzed … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 12 Jun 2012 · 7,089 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficiency of Carica papaya L. Seeds in Anticoccidial Control for Cockerel of Lohmann Brown StrainKomlan Mawouli Wampah, Kosi Mawuéna Novidzro, Namponi Dianam, Abalo Essosimna KuloTo combat avian coccidiosis, chemical products are widely used in poultry farming. However, chemotherapy has inconveniences due to the bioresistance of Coccidia and the presence of undesirable residues in consumer products. The aim of this study is to investigate the toxicity of papaya seeds as a bio-insecticide against Coccidia in Lohmann brown chickens in order to improve their zootechnical parameters. … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 27 Jan 2024 · 6,659 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVermicompost Incorporation into Soil Contaminated with Deltamethrin as an Attempt to Reduce the Toxicity Caused by this Pyrethroid: A Structural Study of SoilFernanda Benetti, Lívia B.F. Pigatin, Michelle M. Kanashiro et al.The use of vermicompost for remediating soil contaminated with the commercial formulation containing deltamethrin was proposed. Biotoxicity tests with the goal of evaluating the potential remediation degree of the vermicompost after its addition to contaminated soils were performed. The tests lasted 56 days and involved Eisenia foetida earthworms. Possible structural changes in humic acids from these soils were evaluated by … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 16 Aug 2017 · 7,165 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractECOTOXICOLOGICAL BIOASSAYS OF THE EARTHWORMS ALLOLOBOPHORA CALIGINOSA SAVIGNY AND PHERETIMA HAWAYANA ROSA TREATED WITH ARSENATEAbdelmonem Mohamed KhalilLittle research has been carried out on the effect of arsenate on earthworms. Ecotoxicological laboratory tests are fundamental tools for assessing the toxicity of arsenate to soil organisms. In this study, the impact of arsenate on the survival, reproduction and behaviour of the endogenic earthworms Allolobophora caliginosa and the anecic earthworms Pheretima hawayana has been quantified. The 96-h LC 50 … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 27 Sep 2013 · 7,068 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Acute Toxicity and Neuropharmacological Activities of PM-52Wipawee Thukhum-Mee, Jintanaporn Wattanathorn, Supaporn MuchimapuraThe neuropsychological disorders are increasing their importance nowadays. Unfortunately, the therapeutic efficacy is still not in satisfaction level. Therefore, the novel agents that are effective, safe, cheap and easy to approach are in required. Therefore, we aimed to determine the neuropharmacological activities of PM52, the novel herbal supplement. We had developed the PM52, a novel product comprising of Cissampelas pariera … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 27 May 2013 · 7,351 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTrace Metals Co-Toxicity in Hard Body Structures of Liza klunzingeri (Mugilidae: Perciformes) Mullet FishA.H. Bu-Olayan, B.V. Thomas, S.M.H. Al-HusainiThe possibility of inorganic pollutants causing stress to the marine ecosystem instigated us to conduct eco-toxicological tests on the predominant trace metals (Cu, Zn, Pb and V) in commercial important fish. Among the four metals, V had the lowest observed effect concentration (LOEC: LC15) at 6.3 µg L-1. Toxicity tests (96 h) using Multi factor Probit analysis revealed V (6.3 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,514 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExposure to Citral, Cinnamon and Ruda Disrupts the Life Cycle of a Vector of Chagas DiseaseCharles I. Abramson, Elis Aldana, Enrique SulbaranThe main vector of Chagas disease in Venezuela was exposed to the odors of citral, cinnamon and ruda. Cinnamon was found to stop the life cycle of Rhodnius prolixus relative to untreated animals. Citral and ruda also influenced the life cycle but not to the extent of animals exposed to cinnamon. We suggest that future research be directed toward using … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 May 2007 · 7,487 accessesView PDFCite
