Abstract

This review surveys the pertinent literature on the effects of diflubenzuron (Dimilin®) on non-target crustacean species when applied for mosquito control to freshwater and saltwater habitats. Freshwater research has focused on field testing, while estuarine research has been limited almost exclusively to laboratory toxicity studies. Several experimental design factors may affect the toxicity and persistence of diflubenzuron. These factors include formulation, frequency of application (exposure), presence of organic matter and sediment in the test system, pH and water temperature. Biological factors such as the age of the test organism and the frequency and synchrony of moulting during the exposure period also influence the observed response of the experimental crustacean population. Assessment of the impact of DFB on estuarine crustaceans is difficult as few studies have been conducted under conditions appropriate to its use in saltmarsh mosquito control.

用于预测双氟苯脲(Dimilin®)对河口甲壳类动物影响的毒性测试和降解研究综述

本文综述了氟虫脲(Dimilin®)在淡水和咸水生境防蚊时对非目标甲壳类生物的影响。淡水研究的重点是实地测试，而河口研究几乎完全局限于实验室毒性研究。几个实验设计因素可能影响氟虫脲的毒性和持久性。这些因素包括配方、应用频率(暴露)、测试系统中有机物和沉积物的存在、pH值和水温。受试生物的年龄以及暴露期间换羽的频率和同步等生物因素也会影响实验甲壳类动物种群的观察反应。评估DFB对河口甲壳类动物的影响是困难的，因为很少有研究是在适合其用于控制盐沼蚊子的条件下进行的。
