Factors that alter the biochemical biomarkers of environmental contamination in Chironomus sancticaroli (Diptera, Chironomidae)
Changes in physiology of the nervous system and metabolism can be detected through the activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), alpha esterase (EST-α) and beta esterase (EST-β) in chironomids exposed to pollutants. However, to understand the real effect of xenobiotics on organisms, it is important t...
