THE DETECTION OF GENOTOXIC ACTIVITY OF THE DELTAMETHRIN AND PERMETHRIN BY SOMATIC MUTATION AND RECOMBINATION TEST WITH DROSOPHILA

Abstract

In this study, different doses of deltamethrin from pyretyroide insecticides and permethrine from organophosphate insecticides have been analysied for their genotoxic effects by somatic mutation and recombination test SMART in Drosophila melanogaster. Lethal doses of chemicals used were determined. Trans-heterozygous larvae for two genetic markers mwh and flr3 were evaluated for 25 ppm, 50 ppm and 75 ppm concentrations of the insecticides. A possitive correlation was observed among total mutations, the number of wings having mutations and percentage survival. Mutations observed were classified according to their size and type per wing and the data evaluated by statistical analysis. Deltamethrin was found more toxic and mutagenic than permethrine
