The association between maternal exposure to ten neonicotinoid insecticides and preterm birth in Guangxi, China.

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
Preterm birth (PTB) is a primary cause of mortality among newborns globally. Prenatal exposure to environmental pollutants has been suggested to increase the PTB risk. Studies have shown NEOs may be linked to adverse birth outcomes. However, the impa...

Discrimination of inherent characteristics of susceptible and resistant strains of Anopheles gambiae by explainable artificial intelligence analysis of flight trajectories.

Scientific reports
Understanding mosquito behaviours is vital for the development of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs), which have been successfully deployed in sub-Saharan Africa to reduce disease transmission, particularly malaria. However, rising insecticide resistanc...

Predictive modeling of diazinon residual concentration in soils contaminated with potentially toxic elements: a comparative study of machine learning approaches.

Biodegradation
The widespread use of pesticides, including diazinon, poses an increased risk of environmental pollution and detrimental effects on biodiversity, food security, and water resources. In this study, we investigated the impact of Potentially Toxic Eleme...

Using AI to prevent the insect apocalypse: toward new environmental risk assessment procedures.

Current opinion in insect science
Insect populations are declining globally, with multiple potential drivers identified. However, experimental data are needed to understand their relative contributions. We highlight the sublethal effects of pesticides at field-relevant concentrations...

Integrating classic AI and agriculture: A novel model for predicting insecticide-likeness to enhance efficiency in insecticide development.

Computational biology and chemistry
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into smart agriculture boosts production and management efficiency, facilitating sustainable agricultural development. In intensive agricultural management, adopting eco-friendly and effective pesticide...

Detecting common coccinellids found in sorghum using deep learning models.

Scientific reports
Increased global production of sorghum has the potential to meet many of the demands of a growing human population. Developing automation technologies for field scouting is crucial for long-term and low-cost production. Since 2013, sugarcane aphid (S...

A fatal case involved in pyrethroid insecticide ingestion: quantification of tetramethrin and resmethrin in body fluids of a deceased by LC-MS/MS.

Forensic toxicology
PURPOSE: The quantification of parent molecules of pyrethroids tetramethrin and resmethrin in human specimens by a mass spectrometry (MS) technique has not been reported yet. A woman in her 60s was found dead in a wasteland. At the scene, an empty be...

Global transcriptome analysis reveals relevant effects at environmental concentrations of cypermethrin in honey bees (Apis mellifera).

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
Cypermethrin is a frequently used insecticide in agriculture and households but its chronic and molecular effects are poorly known are . Here we describe effects of sublethal cypermethrin exposure on the global transcriptome in the brain of honey bee...

Cloisite Microrobots as Self-Propelling Cleaners for Fast and Efficient Removal of Improvised Organophosphate Nerve Agents.

ACS applied materials & interfaces
Naturally available microclays are well-known materials with great adsorption capabilities that are available in nature in megatons quantities. On the contrary, artificial nanostructures are often available at high cost via precision manufacturing. S...

Dopamine-functionalized upconversion nanoparticles as fluorescent sensors for organophosphorus pesticide analysis.

Talanta
Organophosphorus pesticide (OP) residues in agricultural products, herbal medicines and environment have attracted increasing concerns because they cause high healthy risk. Herein, a tyrosinase-mediated photoinduced electron transfer system was const...
