Disease relevance of Amphipoda

  • Although chlorfenapyr remained in sediment, TWAs concentrations from the microcosm study along with model-predicted concentrations indicate low hazard to benthic invertebrate species based on acute toxicity to amphipods in the laboratory [1].
 

High impact information on Amphipoda

  • For amphipods collected from microcosms exposed to the herbicide 2-[4-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)phenoxy]propionic acid methyl ester (diclofop-methyl, trade name Hoe Grass), there were detectable levels of only the hydrolysis product, diclofop acid, in the lipid-rich tissue [2].
  • Mitochondrial (mt) sequences from cytochrome oxidase subunit I to the subunit II gene (COI, COII) were analysed in crustacean talitrid amphipods [3].
  • The greater sensitivity of C. tentans to fluoranthene as compared to the amphipods may be due, in part, to a potential toxic metabolite [4].
  • Despite the inhibition of major antioxidant enzymes, the studied amphipods were able to successfully resist the NOM oxidative impact and, at low NOM concentrations, to combat lipid peroxidation processes [5].
  • The amphipods significantly avoided petri dishes with the three highest concentrations of zinc pyrithione and the calculated EC(50) was 9.65microgL(-1) sediment [6].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Amphipoda

 

Biological context of Amphipoda

 

Associations of Amphipoda with chemical compounds

  • In the 10-day experiment, where amphipods did not receive supplemental food, growth was significantly increased in DDT treatments where survival was not affected [11].
  • Validation of estuarine gammarid collectives (Amphipoda: Crustacea) as biomonitors for cadmium in semi-controlled toxicokinetic flow-through experiments [12].
  • Consistent effects were observed at the highest exposure concentrations (400 microg DDD/goc [DDD concentrations normalized to grams of organic carbon (goc) in sediment] or 4% GCR sediment) on survival, length, and reproduction of amphipods in the laboratory and on abundance of invertebrates colonizing sediments in the field [13].
  • Amphipods contained greater concentrations than mysids of PCB, DDT residues, and toxaphene, possibly reflecting differences in habitat (benthic vs epibenthic) and diet (detritus vs plankton) [14].
  • Influences of sedimentary organic matter quality on the bioaccumulation of 4-nonylphenol by estuarine amphipods [15].
 

Gene context of Amphipoda

  • Amphipods of Diporeia spp. have declined considerably during the last decade in the Great Lakes. We examined the possibility that disease may be affecting these populations [16].
  • The activities of antioxidant enzymes peroxidase, catalase and glutathione-S-transferase were measured in different sections (tagmata) of the amphipods' bodies as well as in different size groups [17].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Amphipoda

  • Laboratory bioassays were performed to obtain data on the lethal effects of nitrite to three species of freshwater invertebrates: the planarian Polycelis felina and the amphipods Echinogammarus echinosetosus and Eulimnogammarus toletanus [18].
