Journal ArticleDOI
Response of the amphibian tadpole (Xenopus laevis) to atrazine during sexual differentiation of the testis
Luz E. Tavera-Mendoza,Sylvia M. Ruby,Pauline Brousseau,Michel Fournier,Daniel G. Cyr,David J. Marcogliese +5 more
TL;DR: The combined reduction in spermatogonial cell nests and nursing cells suggest that a pulse exposure to 21 μg/L of atrazine during sexual differentiation could significantly reduce reproduction during the reproductive life of these animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of agricultural pesticides on the immune system of Rana pipiens and on its resistance to parasitic infection
M.S. Christin,Andrée D. Gendron,Pauline Brousseau,Lucie Ménard,David J. Marcogliese,Daniel G. Cyr,Sylvia M. Ruby,Michel Fournier +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that agricultural pesticides can alter the immune response of frogs and affect their ability to deal with parasitic infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phagocytic activity of marine and freshwater bivalves: in vitro exposure of hemocytes to metals (Ag, Cd, Hg and Zn).
Sébastien Sauvé,Pauline Brousseau,Jocelyne Pellerin,Y Morin,L Senécal,P Goudreau,Michel Fournier,Michel Fournier,Michel Fournier +8 more
TL;DR: The results show the variability of the toxic response of different species within a group of similar organisms and highlights the need to consider species-species differences in ecotoxicological risk assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flow cytometry as a tool to monitor the disturbance of phagocytosis in the clam Mya arenaria hemocytes following in vitro exposure to heavy metals.
Pauline Brousseau,Jocelyne Pellerin,Y Morin,Y Morin,Daniel G. Cyr,Barry Blakley,Herman J. Boermans,Michel Fournier,Michel Fournier,Michel Fournier +9 more
TL;DR: The results reveal the high but different degree of sensitivity of the phagocytosis activity of bivalves with respect to heavy metals, as measured by flow cytometry, and demonstrate that flow cytometers is a potentially useful tool in ecotoxicological monitoring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immunotoxicity of pesticides: a review.
TL;DR: Evidence is reviewed on the effects of pesticides on the immune system, from animal and human studies, that suggest vulnerability to any chemical that can cause structural and functional alterations to the system.
