Abstract
The present study aimed to examine the histopathological effects of synthetic
pyrethroid Lambda-cyhalothrin on the midgut of the L4 stages of Culex pipiens
larvae. Exposure to LC50 (0.00001%) concentration resulted in severe
midgut damage, including cell lysis, vacuolation, and disruption of epithelial
and peritrophic membranes after exposure of insecticide for 24 hours which
increased after 48 hours. At 0.000005% similar but less severe alterations were
observed. The findings demonstrate that even 0.00001% doses of
lambda-cyhalothrin can cause significant midgut damage in Culex pipiens
larvae.
