Toxicological studies of the fungicides Manzete, Triziman D, and Curamax, using Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast as a model
Pesticides have become a standard method of fighting pests that affect crops. Unfortunately, the excessive use and poor pesticide regulation have brought environmental and health damage.

Unfortunately, the excessive use and poor pesticide regulation have brought environmental and health damage. The objective of this study is to evaluate the potential risk or danger that the fungicides Manzete (mancozeb), Triziman D (mancozeb), and Curamax (macozeb+cymoxanil). The use of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells as a model for measuring the toxicity of fungicides can provide useful clues to prioritize more complex analyses in higher eukaryotes and the future to determine markers for biosensors to assess the toxicity of the products we consume and to which we are exposed, whether be food, cosmetic or another type. The fungicides used are commercial quality for use in the Imbabura-Ibarra area. |
