Lethal interaction of ubiquitous insecticide carriers with virus.

abstract

• Large quantities of presumably nontoxic petroleum oil by-products are introduced into the environment as pesticide dispersal agents and emulsifiers. An increase in viral lethality with a concomitant influence on the liver and central nervous system occurs in young mice previously primed with such chemicals.
