Cytogenetic and genotoxic effects of the insecticides, imidacloprid and methamidophos

U. N. Karabay and M. Oguz, G., Cytogenetic and genotoxic effects of the insecticides, imidacloprid and methamidophos, vol. 4, pp. 653-662, 2005.

We examined the cytogenetic and genotoxic effects of the neonicotinoid insecticide imidacloprid and the organophosphate insecticide methamidophos, when administered alone or in combination. These insecticides were tested with the bone marrow chromosome aberration assay and micronucleus test in rats and by the bacterial mutation assay (Salmonella/microsome mutagenicity assay).
