Effects of imidacloprid exposure on Chironomus riparius Meigen larvae: linking acetylcholinesterase activity to behaviour
Imidacloprid (IMI) is an insecticide that interferes with the transmission of stimuli in the nervous system of insects. It is neurotoxic by mimicking nicotine through its binding to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. In this work, experiments comprising 96 h exposure followed by 48 h in clean med...
