Different effects of subchronic exposure to low concentrations of the organophosphate insecticide chlorpyrifos in a freshwater gastropod
Chlorpyrifos is an organophosphate insecticide used for pest control on a number of food crops in many parts of the world. In recent years, there has been an important decrease in the number of organisms of Planorbarius corneus. Since the presence of pesticides in the water can be one of the reasons...

Chlorpyrifos is an organophosphate insecticide used for pest control on a number of food crops in many parts of the world. In recent years, there has been an important decrease in the number of organisms of Planorbarius corneus. Since the presence of pesticides in the water can be one of the reasons for this decrease, it is very important to study the effect of subchronic exposure to environmental concentrations of pesticides on these organisms. The aim of the present work was to investigate different effects of the subchronic exposure to low concentrations of the organophosphate chlorpyrifos in P. corneus and the possibility to use these as biomarkers. To this end, we have exposed the organisms to 0.4 and 5μgL-1 of chlorpyrifos for 14 days and recorded the number of egg masses, the number of eggs per mass, the number of eggs without embryo, the time for hatching, and the % of hatching and survival. We have also determined the activities of cholinesterases, carboxylesterases and glutathione S-transferase in whole organism soft tissue and in the gonads. A 14 days exposure to 0.4μgL-1 caused an increase in the number of egg masses without eggs and a decrease in carboxylesterases measured with p-nitrophenyl butyrate.
