Male mice treated for 2 weeks with the anticholinesterase insecticide disulfoton (O,O-diethyl S-[2-(ethylthio)-ethyl] phosphorodithioate; 10 mg per kg per day) became tolerant to the hypothermic and antinociceptive effects of disulfoton itself and of oxotremorine, a muscarinic cholinergic agonist.

Signs typical of cholinesterase inhibition caused by organophosphorus poisoning were observed in most cases.
From 1982 to 1989, inclusive, 20 poisonings were investigated by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food following ingestion by domestic livestock of granular insecticides including terbufos (13 poisonings), disulfoton (two poisonings), fonofos (two poisonings), phorate (two poisonings), and carbofuran (one poisoning); all are used for rootworm (Diabrotica spp.) control in corn.

Male rats were treated for 10 days with the organophosphorus insecticide, acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, O,O-diethyl S-[2-(ethylthio) ethyl] phosphorodithioate (disulfoton, 2 mg/kg/day by gavage).
At the end of the treatment, binding of [3H] quinuclidinyl benzilate ( [3H] QNB) to cholinergic muscarinic receptors and cholinesterase (ChE) activity were assayed in the pancreas.
