Abstract
Organophosphorus and carbamate insecticides produce acute toxicosis via a common mechanism--the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase--and, therefore, these categories of insecticides are considered together. This article discusses the mechanisms, toxicity, clinical signs, lesions, and diagnosis of, as well as treatment for, toxicoses produced by these compounds.Entities:
