Genetic and cytogenetic effects induced in the mouse by an organophosphorus insecticide: malathion.
Male mice (Q strain) received an ip injection of malathion (300 mg/kg). The percentage of chromosome aberrations was not increased in both bone marrow cells and spermatogonia. In a dominant lethal mutation assay, the frequency of pre- and postimplantation fetal lethality was not significantly enhanced over the control level.
