Ivermectin induced early developmental damage to the nervous system of zebrafish larvae
Ivermectin has good antiparasitic activity and is heavily used in animal husbandry. However, its extensive use puts pressure on the environment. This study focused on evaluating the safety of ivermectin on the nervous system of aquatic organisms. The effects of ivermectin on the neurological development of zebrafish larvae were mainly explored. The results showed that ivermectin was able to induce developmental abnormalities in zebrafish larvae, which were mainly manifested as head edema. Further results showed that zebrafish larvae had reduced cellular densities and decreased numbers of neuronal cells in the brain. Ivermectin also impaired neural crest development and induced apoptosis. In locomotor behavior, ivermectin induced diminished locomotion in zebrafish larvae. Finally, the results showed that ivermectin was able to induce abnormal expression of genes related to neural development in zebrafish larvae. This study hopes to draw more attention to the safety of ivermectin for aquatic organisms.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology publishes the results of studies concerning toxic and pharmacological effects of (human and veterinary) drugs and of environmental contaminants in animals and man.
Areas of special interest are: molecular mechanisms of toxicity, biotransformation and toxicokinetics (including toxicokinetic modelling), molecular, biochemical and physiological mechanisms explaining differences in sensitivity between species and individuals, the characterisation of pathophysiological models and mechanisms involved in the development of effects and the identification of biological markers that can be used to study exposure and effects in man and animals.
In addition to full length papers, short communications, full-length reviews and mini-reviews, Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology will publish in depth assessments of special problem areas. The latter publications may exceed the length of a full length paper three to fourfold. A basic requirement is that the assessments are made under the auspices of international groups of leading experts in the fields concerned. The information examined may either consist of data that were already published, or of new data that were obtained within the framework of collaborative research programmes. Provision is also made for the acceptance of minireviews on (classes of) compounds, toxicities or mechanisms, debating recent advances in rapidly developing fields that fall within the scope of the journal.
