The Toxicology and Biochemistry of Insecticides
The first book in two decades to address this multi-faceted field, The Toxicology and Biochemistry of Insecticides provides the most up-to-date information on insecticide classification, formulation, mode of action, resistance, metabolism, environmental fate, and regulatory legislation. The book draws on the author's groundbreaking research in insect detoxification. It discusses mechanisms at the molecular level such as specific enzymes that contribute to insecticide resistance, the modification of which can change insecticide susceptibility and influence host plant selections in phytophagous insects.
Beginning with a general introduction, eleven chapters integrate classical toxicology with physiology, biochemistry, and molecular Combining classical toxicology with physiology, biochemistry, and molecular biology, "The Toxicology and Biochemistry of Insecticides" provides a detailed description of insecticide toxicology, with an emphasis on metabolism. This comprehensive textbook is the first review of insect toxicology in decades. Addressing implications for pest management, this reference explores the need for pesticides, their pattern of use, pesticides in the environment, as well as pesticides laws and regulations. It also examines the mode of action of insecticides, phenomena associated with the metabolism of xenobiotics, insecticide resistance, evaluation of toxicity, and the uptake of insecticides. isbn13: 9781420059755 Read medical textbooks online like The Toxicology and Biochemistry of Insecticides here

Now highly complex and publicly sensitive, the application of pesticides to both food crops and ornamentals requires sensitivity to a host of biological, physiological and environmental issues. Yu (entomology emeritus, U. of Florida) works from his own significant research as well as that of others to explain current work on the need for pesticides and their pattern of use, the formulation of pesticides, laws and regulations, classifications of pesticides, evaluations of their toxicity, methods of introducing pesticides, the mode of their action, principles of pesticide metabolism, species dif
