The development and application of pesticides has contributed in a long way in making the “Green Revolution” possible. These newer pesticides have synergetic effect over the control of pests that otherwise have negative impact on the quality and quantity of food. The toxicity, persistence, and environmental pathway are some important criteria that determine the impacts on ecology and environment. The generalization of the impact of pesticides on different organisms is difficult as these are of broad spectrum chemical nature. However, the major problem that arises due to widespread use of pesticides is the contamination of water by pesticide runoff. The chemically contaminated water in turn leads to the much aggravated problems of bio-concentration and bio-magnification of these chemicals. While the bio-concentration describes the transfer of a chemical from surrounding into the tissue/body of organism, the bio-magnification is related to the increased concentration of such a chemical along a food chain.

In recent decades an increase in the use of pesticides to protect plants from pests, diseases and weeds has been observed. There are many studies on the effects of various pesticides on non-target organisms. This review aims to analyze and summarize published scientific data on the effects of pesticides on the animal microbiome. Pesticides can affect various parameters of the animal microbiome, such as the taxonomic composition of bacteria, bacterial biodiversity, and bacterial ratios and modify the microbiome of various organisms from insects to mammals. Pesticide induced changes in the microbiome reducing the animal’s immunity. The negative effects of pesticides could pose a global problem for pollinators. Another possible negative effect of pesticides is the impact of pesticides on the intestinal microbiota of bumblebees and bees that increase the body’s sensitivity to pathogenic microflora, which leads to the death of insects. In addition, pesticides can affect vitality, mating success and characteristics of offspring. The review considers methods for correcting of bee microbiome.

Acute toxicity tests with the predaceous trichopteran larvae of Rhyacophila dorsalis and Hydropsyche pellucidula in a laboratory-simulated stream have shown that both species have a high survival rate after short exposures, 15 min to 1 h, to concentrations of temephos(Abate) and chlorpyrifos methyl that produce a mortality of 90% or more in late-instar Simulium larvae. A similar differential reaction to the synthetic pyrethroid permethrin was demonstrated in the case of Hydropsyche but not Rhyacophila.The implication of these findings is discussed firstly in relation to the environmental impact of Simulium control programmes based on application of larvicides to rivers and streams, and secondly to the wider problem of evaluating the impact of pesticides and allied toxic chemicals on stream ecosystems.It is concluded that although significant differences in tolerance level to some insecticides between prey (Simulium) and predator (trichopteran larvae) can be demonstrated in the laboratory, the margin of safety is not sufficiently wide to assure selective control of Simulium larvae by these chemicals under the less precise conditions of larvicide application in the field.
