Book Summary
Insects are more similar in structure and physiology to mammals than plants or
fungi. Consequently, insecticides are often of greater toxicity to mammals than
herbicides. This is particularly the case with neurotoxins. However, some
insecticides are targeted at structures or hormonal systems specific to insects
(insect growth regulators/chitin synthesis inhibitors) so are less harmful but
can still be mildly haematotoxic. There are, therefore, issues specific to
insecticides, which do not occur with other pesticides - hence the need for a
book specifically on insecticide toxicology in mammals. The book starts with
general issues relating to the mammalian toxicity of insecticides, including
target/non-target specificity, nomenclature and metabolism of insecticides.
