Genotoxicity and gene expression modulation associated with the use of DDVP antiparasitic drugs in aquaculture on Danio rerio
Sujit Kumar
IntroductionParasites are a significant threat to aquaculture, and the application of various antiparasitic chemicals by aquafarmers is a widely practiced strategy to control them. Few antiparasitic drugs are toxic to hosts at higher concentrations and may be genotoxic to them. Genotoxicity tests have been successfully used as indicators of the toxicity of several drugs and environmental pollutants, including heavy metals. The current study was aimed to assess the toxicity of antiparasitic chemi
