PG - 173-9 AB - Tebufenozide is a nonsteroid ecdysone agonist that causes premature and incomplete molting in Lepidoptera and is used on crops and in forest spray programs. Lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) were exposed to one pulse of 0.25 ppm tebufenozide every 3 days (12 pulses in total). Cell ratios and respiratory burst responses of circulating white blood cells (WBCs) as well as head-kidney (HK) WBCs were investigated by using cell observation, Nitro-Blue Tetrazolium tests, and flow cytometry. Endpoints studied suggest a difference in sensitivity between HK and circulating blood cells to tebufenozide and show a stimulation of fish cell function and changes in percentages of cell types. Responses are not associated with a strong stress response as highlighted by the absence of effect on cortisol and blood protein levels. These results and tebufenozide persistence in water warrant further studies on pesticide impact on fish immunity when used on crops or in forest spray programs near lakes and streams.
