4.The advantages of pyriproxyfen, a juvenile hormone mimic, for mosquito control
China Tropical Medicine 2024;24(6):627-
Abstract: Mosquitoes and mosquito-borne illnesses remain one of the major public threats which is intensified by the emergence and resurgence of new and existing vector species. Mosquito control is often the only sustainable measure to combat mosquito-borne diseases due to lack or limitation in vaccinations and/or effective medications. Among mosquito control interventions, larviciding to target aquatic habitats is more cost-effective and feasible as opposite to adulticiding which focuses on air-borne adult stages. The available mosquito larvicides are at a historical low owing to numerous reasons. Currently, available larvicides are based on microbial agents, insect growth regulators (IGRs), and a few others of botanical origins. In the IGR arena, juvenile hormone mimics have drawn a lot of attention in research, development, and application. Pyriproxyfen (PPF) was first developed in the early 1970s by Sumitomo Chemical Co. Ltd. (SCC). Its great potential and safety profile to control a wide variety of arthropod pests have been recognized ever since. The current review provides general information and highlights the following advantages of PPF: unique mode of action to mimic the action of natural juvenile hormone (JH) in mosquitoes, broad target spectrum against many mosquito species, the highest bioactivity against mosquitoes as compared with all other known or potential mosquito larvicides, low risk in resistance development and lack of cross-resistance with other larvicides studied, and high activity against species in Stegomyia group. Recently, more potential uses of PPF against adult mosquitoes in bait, barrier treatment, and bed net treatment have been on the horizon. Environmental concerns about PPF residues and their metabolites are also discussed. In general, PPF is one of the critical tools in combating mosquito species of public health importance for now and the foreseeable future.

Objective To investigate the organic pollutants in the contaminated water irrigation area soil and to study the lipid peroxidation effect of the pollutants on mouse. Methods The organic pollutants of the polluted irrigation soil and control soil were extracted using the supersonic oscillator. The ingredients of the organic pollutants were measured by the GC-MS spectrum. The 40 sanitary Kunming mice were randomly divided into five groups: the dimethylsulfoxide control group,low dose group of control soil,high dose group of control soil,low dose group of polluted soil,high dose group of polluted soil. The administered doses of the low and high dose groups were 25.5 g dry soil/kg body weight per day by oral for two weeks. The activities of T-SOD,GSH-Px and the content of MDA in serum of mice were determined. Results Phenanthrene,yrene,diphenyl,fluorene,naphthalene,dimethyl-naphthalene,2,3,6-trimethyl-naphthalene,anthracene,dimethyl-anthracene,1,4-dimethyl-anthracene,fluoranthene,4-methyl-pyrene,dibenzothiophen,4-methyl-dibenzofuran,dibenzofuran,butylated-hydroxytoluene,dodecane,neopentyl-cyclohexane,trimethyl-heptane,1,2-dimethyl-cyclohexanimine,butethal were detected in the polluted irrigation soil and their levels were 14.3,2.1,1.3,1.1,0.8,1.3,0.4,2.9,7.2,2.3,9.1,0.2,0.4,1.4,1.7,0.37,0.9,0.11,0.02,0.02 and 0.13 mg/kg respectively in the polluted irrigation soil. Trimethyl-heptane,dimethyl-heptane and 1,2-dimethyl-cyclohexanimine were detected,and their levels were all 0.01 mg/kg in control soil. Compared with the solvent of dimethylsulfoxide group,the activities of T-SOD and GSH-Px of the high dose group of control soil and two dose groups of polluted soil all decreased,the differences were all significant(P0.05). Conclusion The soil has been contaminated with organic pollutants in the investigated area and the soil extract may produce a certain effect on lipid peroxidation in mice.
