Abstract

Because of huge consumption for agricultural purpose, presence of pesticides in surface waters of Golestan province (north east of Iran) is very common. These pesticides finally could be stored in aquatic ecosystems and have proven toxic effects on aquatic animals. Culex quinquefasciatus is one of the most common aquatic insects living mainly in the wetlands. The aim of this study was to determine the acute toxicity of deltamethrin and diazinon as potentially perilous organic pesticides and to assess mortality effects of these chemicals on the mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus in the form of LC₅₀.
