Immunotoxicity of Organophosphorous Pesticides
@article{Galloway2003ImmunotoxicityOO, title={Immunotoxicity of Organophosphorous Pesticides}, author={T. Galloway and R. Handy}, journal={Ecotoxicology}, year={2003}, volume={12}, pages={345-363} }
This study reviews the toxic effects of organophosphate (OP) pesticides on the immune systems and immune functions of invertebrates, fish, and higher vertebrate wildlife. The fundamental features and mechanisms of OP-induced immunotoxicity are illustrated with reference to parathion, chlorpyrifos, malathion, and diazinon. Immunotoxicity may be direct via inhibition of serine hydrolases or esterases in components of the immune system, through oxidative damage to immune organs, or by modulation… CONTINUE READING
