| esterases as biomarkers in nereis (hediste) diversicolor exposed to temephos and bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis used for mosquito control in coastal wetlands of morbihan (brittany, france). | since 1998, a biomonitoring programme has been implemented to assess the potential impact of chemical mosquito control on macroinvertebrates of the coastal wetlands of morbihan (brittany, france). acetylcholinesterase and carboxylesterases were used as biomarkers to assess the effects of abate 500e (a.i. temephos) and vectobac 12 as (a.i. endotoxins of bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis, bti) in nereis (hediste) diversicolor. esterase inhibition revealed a marked impact of temephos, suggest ... | 2002 | 12408646 |
