Effect of organophosphate and pyrethroid on skittering frog

The book "Effect of Organophosphate and Pyrethroid on Skittering Frog" offers a comprehensive investigation into the impact of pesticides on amphibian populations, particularly focusing on the Skittering Frog (Euphlyctis cyanophlyctis). Given the alarming decline in amphibian species, the role of pesticide pollution is emphasized as crucial for the preservation of biodiversity. The authors, Muhammad Z. Khan and Yasmeen Ghazala, analyze the toxicological effects of two groups of pesticides – organophosphates and pyrethroids – and their influence on enzyme activity in various tissues of the frogs. The results reveal significant inhibitions of enzyme activities in the liver, kidney, and brain of the treated frogs, indicating the harmful effects of these chemicals on amphibian health. This specialized book is aimed at students and professionals in the fields of biosciences, environmental sciences, and wetland management, providing valuable insights for research and conservation efforts.
