The dithiocarbamate fungicides maneb and mancozeb induce a short-term stress response in a transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans strain (PC72) carrying a reporter lacZ gene under the control of a homologous heat shock (hsp16) promoter. This response can be readily monitored as induced b-galactosidase ac
## Abstract In the present study, a toxic mechanism of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was investigated in the nematode, __Caenorhabditis elegans__, focusing on the involvement of oxidative stress in reproduction toxicity. Initially, AgNPs were tested as potential oxidative stress inducers, and increa
