Gross morphological study demonstrates Malathion impacts development in chick embryos, suggesting significant toxicity.

This study aims to investigate the effects of Malathion on chick embryo development and morphology.
Chick embryos were administered Malathion from days 3 to 10 of incubation.
Measurement of body size, leg lengths, and mandible lengths was conducted on day 14.
High mortality rates were recorded for embryos treated on days 3 and 4.
Observations were made of embryos showing Malathion Syndrome after alizarin staining.
Significant reductions in size and limb lengths were observed in Malathion-treated chicks.
Mortality rates were notably high for chicks treated on days 3 and 4.
Less consistent size reduction was noted in embryos treated at later stages.

Walter Theodore Raza (1975) studied this question.
