“…Notably, reduction in BChE activity in frogs from RF2, where no organophosphorus pesticide (OP) was sprayed, is attributed to the application of cypermethrin (Cy). These observation is in agreement with findings of Khan et al (2003) and Khan (2005), who determined that pyrethroid pesticides inhibit BChE activity of anuran (Rana cyanophlystis) and reptile (Calotes versicolor) species. Moreover, another possible explanation for inhibition of BChE levels of frogs from this agricultural site is that endosulfan (E) and Cy can act in synergism to inhibit BChE activity.…”

“…Symptoms of dermal exposure include unresponsiveness, stinging, itching, burning sensation, loss of bladder control, uncoordination, seizures, and possible death. 46 According to Khan et al , 47 exposure to lambda-cyhalothrin caused up to 20% and 57.1% of inhibition in the activity of the brain cholinesterase enzyme. Lake Ziway is a key source of water supply for irrigation and domestic purposes such as drinking, food preparation, and cleaning clothes in addition to its crucial role in the surrounding ecosystem.…”

“…Lambda-cyhalothrin is highly toxic to aquatic organisms, terrestrial arthropods (including honeybees) but slightly to non-toxic to birds [ 33 , 35 ]. Toxicity to reptiles and amphibians is likely high and overlooked [ 36 , 37 ]. Lambda-cyhalothrin has a low vapour pressure, low solubility in water and high soil adsorption coefficient [ 35 ].…”
