“…A D. magna chronic test (28-d exposure time) has been used for the ecotoxicological assessment of municipal solid waste leachates by Millemann and Parkhurst [35] and by Lambolez et al [5]; however, no toxicity studies have ever been carried out on municipal solid waste leachates using C. dubia. Versteeg et al [36] reported that C. dubia had a similar or lower chronic NOEC in 59% of comparisons with D. magna for xenobiotics. We hypothesize that the difference of sensitivity between C. dubia and D. magna might also be due to the test duration (7 d It is of interest to compare our results to data of Lambolez et al [5] obtained on industrial waste incineration bottom ash leachates (Table 9).…”

Abstract-Municipal solid waste incinerator bottom ash (MSWIBA) was used as a test matrix for comparing the responses of different variables (solid phase vs leachate media) through toxicity tests and resulting endpoints. Toxicity of leachate and solidphase MSWIBA was evaluated with three terrestrial plants, namely oats (Avena sativa L.), Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris L. cv. chinensis), and lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.). Assessment endpoints for these plant tests were biomass fresh weight, germination rate, and oxidant stress enzyme activities (superoxide dismutase, catalase, peroxidase, and glutathione reductase). Leachate MSWIBA toxicity was tested with bacteria (Vibrio fischeri), algae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata), and microcrustaceans (Daphnia magna and Ceriodaphnia dubia). A large range of toxicity responses was obtained with the various bioassays. With plant tests, the phytotoxicity of MSWIBA was revealed by the solid-phase approach, whereas no toxicity was observed with the MSWIBA leachate. The increase of oxidant stress enzyme activities was demonstrated to be a good indicator of solid or leachate phase toxicity.

“…Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) as a standard animal model for acute or chronic toxicity testing (Versteeg et al 1997), and has been regarded as one of the most reliable indicators for exposing potential environmental problems (Dodson and Hanazato 1995 Wright et al 1981). In this case, because of its more potent aquatic toxicity to non-target species than the existing commercial carbamates (bendiocarb), PRC331 is not a good option for An.…”

Malaria (vector: Anopheles gambiae) is a major infectious disease that kills about 1 million people each year. For the improvement of its treatment and vector control during the past decades, several issues such as high medicine cost, insecticide resistance, and lack of an effective vaccine have prevented adequate control of malaria. Additionally, the low selectivity of malaria vector insecticides also presents a public health problem. The purpose of developing novel carbamate insecticides in our laboratory is to offer effective and selective insecticide options to achieve the ultimate goal of malaria control.First, 50% inhibition concentration (IC 50 ) data was collected from three mammalian AChEs with eight commercial carbamate insecticides by using the Ellman assay. The IC 50 values varied from 57 nM to 7358 nM. The AChE sensitivity pattern and level were shown to be similar between the recombinant mouse and ICR male mouse brain cortex homogenate (slope = 0.99, R 2 = 0.96).Then eight novel carbamate insecticides that are possible malaria vector control agents were selected for further neurotoxicity testing in non-target organisms. Neurotoxic esterase (NTE) assay showed that the novel carbamates did not significantly inhibit NTE, inhibition of which underlies a significant hazard for anticholinesterases, especially organophosphates, in several nontarget vertebrate organisms. The NTE activity in the presence of novel carbamate insecticides ranged from 93% to 116% of the control, while in the commercial group, bendiocarb significantly inhibited NTE, leaving only 76.5% of the initial reactivity at 1 mM inhibitor concentration.Further in vivo bioassay using Daphnia magna was conducted to compare the aquatic toxicity of commercial and novel carbamates. The data showed that except for PRC331 (3-tertbutylphenylmethylcarbamate), all novel carbamates were of similar potency as bendiocarb (LC 50 = 611 nM) for aquatic toxicity, and their LC 50 values ranged from 172 nM (PRC331) to 1109 nM.In conclusion, the novel carbamate insecticides would appear to be an improvement over commercial carbamate insecticides because of greater selectivity, negligible NTE inhibition capacity, but in some cases with potent in vivo toxicity to Daphnia magna. However, since the envisioned usage of these compounds is in bednets or as indoor residual sprays (IRS), any environmental exposures to nontarget aquatic organisms are expected to be minimal.iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

“…Daphnia magna as standard test species has several advantageous characteristics making it the test organism of choice. Among favorable characteristics of these organisms are their small sizes, easy to culture in the laboratory, short life-span, parthenogenetic reproduction under non-stressed conditions, reproducibility and repeatability of the test results, and relative sensitivity to most chemical compounds (Versteeg et al, 1997;Mark and Solbe, 1998). Therefore, D. magna is the most commonly tested freshwater species in acute as well as in chronic tests (Ratte and Hammerswirtz, 2003).…”

The present study was conducted to evaluate the sensitivity of the Vibrio fischeri bioluminescence inhibition test (Microtox ® assay), and the standard acute Daphnia magna test; using 3 heavy metals, 3 organic pesticides, and their mixtures. In Daphnia tests, either at 24h or 30 min exposure times, the pattern of toxicity order for heavy metals was Cu ˃ Cd ˃ Pb. Chlorpyrifos-methyl was the highest toxic at 24h, while Triazophos was the highest toxic at 30 min exposure times.
