EPA Ecotoxicity
Pesticide Ecotoxicity Data from EPA: 3
Symptoms
Symptoms include weight loss, weakness, lethargy, alopecia and diarrhoea. At higher dose, prostration, salivation, laboured breathing, convulsions, and loss of righting reflex would be expected. Flusilazole can also cause mild erythema at the site of application.

Lethal Dose
collection=toxvaldb&kind=^LD$
Toxicity Data
LD50 (rat, oral) =1110 mg/kg (m) LD50 (rat, dermal) >2000 mg/kg
Health Effects
Flusilazole can cause testicular Leydig-cell tumours and bladder tumours in rats and hepatocellular tumours in mouse. An increased gestation length and increased placental weight have been found in the reproductive toxicity studies.
Screening Level
collection=toxvaldb&kind=^SL$
Toxicity Summary
Flusilazole has a dose-related inhibition of serum testosterone and estradiol concentrations in rats. This inhibition of testosterone and estradiol biosynthesis may disrupt the hypothalamus–pituitary–testis axis, resulting in overstimulation of the testicular endocrine tissues and increase the risk of Leydig-cell tumours.
