Fungal deterioration is one of the highest risk factors for damage of historical textile objects in Egypt. This paper represents both a study case about the fungal microflora deteriorating historical textiles in the Egyptian Museum and the Coptic museum in Cairo, and evaluation of the efficacy of
Acute oral toxicity of the copper fungicides, copper sulphate and copper oxychloride, were studied in male Gallus domesticus. The median lethal dose for copper sulphate and copper oxychloride determined were 693 and 1263 mg/kg body weight, respectively. Severe diarrhea and delayed mortality (3 to 6
Experiments were carried out to determine the potential of using the powder and essential oil from dried ground leaves of Cymbopogon citratus (lemon grass) to control storage deterioration and aflatoxin contamination of melon seeds. Four mould species: Aspergillus flavus, A. niger, A. tamarii and
The entomopathogenic Beauveria bassiana is a potential biopesticide. Fungicide-tolerant isolates of this fungus would have an added advantage of being compatible with the conventional chemical methods of pest control. Therefore, 30 isolates of the fungus were screened for tolerance to bavistin a
In this study, we evaluated the fungicide effect on the incidence of rot grains and expression of catalase (CAT), alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), and malate dehydrogenase (MDH) enzymes in commercial maize hybrids grown with conventional and reduced spacing in Guarapuava, PR, Brazil. The experiment was
The fungistatic activity of merthiolate and its two polymerous derivatives have been investigated using as test cultures fungi producing deterioration. The fungicides sorbtion dynamics by the fungus micelium have been studied, toxicity and inhibition rate of the catalase from different sources have
A variety of stresses, hormones, glucocorticoids and cytokines are known to induce metallothioneins (MTs) in animals. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of chemical stress induced by the dicarboximide fungicide procymidone on hepatic structure, MT content and antioxidative defences
The chronic toxic effects of a prolonged exposure of 6 months, from January to June, to a 'safe dose' (0.20 mg litre(-1)) of a commercial organomercurial fungicide, Emisan (methoxy ethyl mercuric chloride: MeEHgCl), on the histophysiology of liver in adults and young (yearlings) of Channa punctatus,
The effects of carbendazim (methyl 2-benzimidazole carbamate) on the testis, efferent ductules, and sperm were determined in the adult rat after a single oral dose. Two experimental trials were performed: a time response between 2 hours and 32 days after exposure using 0 and 400 mg/kg, and a dose
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are a large group of substances able to modulate endocrine-signaling pathways, altering the normal function of the endocrine system. Although the fungicide methyl thiophanate (MT) is not considering a specific reproductive and developmental toxicant, it can
A serial breeding technique was used to evaluate the fertility of male Sprague-Dawley rats after exposure to the fungicide carbendazim (methyl 2-benzimidazole carbamate). Proven-fertile male rats (90 days old) received 10 daily doses of corn oil or carbendazim (400 mg/kg/day) peroral. Each male was
Consumers are exposed to low concentrations of a variety of pesticide residues in or on food. Some of them might interfere with the endocrine system. While each individual active substance has been extensively tested for toxicity and safety, potential combination effects possibly resulting from
Organophosphorus compound (OP)-induced delayed neuropathy (OPIDN) is characterized by distal axonal degeneration and demyelination of the central and peripheral axons, which leads to progressive muscle weakness, ataxia and paralysis in several days after OP intoxication. This study aimed to
Channa punctatus exposed to a "safe" concentration of 0.20 ppm of a commercial mercurial fungicide, Emisan (MeEHgCl), for 6 months, from January to June, exhibited significant inhibition of gonadal development as evidenced by their histology and reduced gonadosomatic index. Degenerative changes were
We investigated the toxic effects of carbendazim and n-butyl isocyanate (BIC), metabolites of the fungicide benomyl, on development in the African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis. To test the toxic effects, frog embryo teratogenesis assays using Xenopus were performed. Embryos were exposed to various
