Malathion (chemathion, mala-spray) requires conversion to malaoxon (replacement of a sulfur atom with oxygen in vivo, conferring resistance to mammalian species). Malathion can be detoxified by hydrolysis of the carboxyl ester linkage by plasma carboxylesterases, and plasma car-boxylesterase activity dictates species resistance to malathion. The detoxification reaction is much more rapid in mammals and birds than in insects. Malathion has been employed in aerial spraying of relatively populous areas for control of Mediterranean fruit flies and mosquitoes that harbor and transmit viruses harmful to human beings (e.g.. West Nile encephalitis virus). Evidence of acute toxicity from malathion arises only with suicide attempts or deliberate poisoning. [Pg.128]

People infected usually experience only mild flulike symptoms, but West Nile virus can result in life-threatening encephalitis or meningitis. DEET is the most popular pesticide used as a repellent for humans, with several hundred products containing DEET available in the United States. Because it is a pesticide, products containing DEET are required to be labeled with information concerning the method of application, directions for medical attention, list special precautions for children, and the percent DEET in the product. DEET is still available at 100% strength in the United States, but Canada bans formulation that are more than 30% and various groups have recommended that this standard be used in the United States. [Pg.100]

Flavivirus is a genus of the family Flaviviridae composed of nearly 70 arthropod-borne viruses that cause important human diseases, such as yellow fever virus (YFV), DENV, West Nile virus (WNV), and Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV). They cause a variety of diseases including fever, encephalitis, and hemorrhagic fever. In particular, DENV has reemerged in recent years as an increasingly important public health threat affecting more than 100 countries worldwide, with nearly 50 million infections each year and over 2.5 billion people at risk [81]. [Pg.272]

West Nile (WN) virus has emerged in recent years in temperate regions of Europe and North America, presenting a threat to public, equine, and other animal health. The most serious manifestation of WN virus infection is fatal encephalitis (inflammation of the brain)... [Pg.346]

Although there are mechanistic differences between retroviruses, paramyxoviruses, and the orthomyxovirus influenza, the viruses discussed to this point have definite structural and functional similarities including spikelike, trimeric native structures and the presence of coiled coils in their fusion-active subunits. The flaviviruses and alphaviruses, however, appear to be another class of enveloped viruses entirely. Flaviviruses include yellow fever. West Nile virus. Dengue virus, and tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV). Alphaviruses, of the togavirus family, include... [Pg.353]
