Study on Immunotoxicity of Pesticides
农药的免疫毒性研究

The increase of diseases can be attributable to the turbulence of the immune system function, and this trend could be at least partially bottom of new and modified patterns of exposure to chemicals in environment. Among chemicals of concern, pesticides can be included. The present review describes the definition of immunotoxicity, the immunotoxicity test methods, the relation of pesticide and immune response and the immunotoxicity of pesticides in aquatic species, terrestrial species, mammals and human. The importance of studying the immunotoxicity of chiral pesticides is also introduced and prospected.
