Exposure to 5G-NR electromagnetic fields affects larval development of Aedes aegypti mosquito

Research PubMed: RF-EMF health Dec 25, 2025

A PubMed-listed study examined whether exposure to 5G New Radio (5G-NR) radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) at 3.6 GHz affects larval development in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Using a custom reverberation-chamber exposure setup and numerical simulations to estimate dose, the authors report slower…

Exposure to 5G-NR electromagnetic fields affects larval development of Aedes aegypti mosquito

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This animal study exposed Aedes aegypti larvae to 5G-NR RF-EMF at 3.6 GHz for 5 days under two feeding regimes. The study reports delayed development at a lower exposure level mainly in nutritionally weakened larvae, and at a higher exposure level reports developmental changes and reduced adult size attributed to…

Sensation of electric fields in the Drosophila melanogaster larva

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This animal study reports that Drosophila melanogaster larvae can sense electric fields and exhibit robust electrotaxis toward the cathode in controlled environments. The authors identify head-tip sensory neurons required for this behavior and report calcium-imaging evidence that Gr66a-positive neurons encode field…

50 Hz Magnetic Field Exposure Inhibited Spontaneous Movement of Zebrafish Larvae through ROS-Mediated syn2a Expression.

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2023

This zebrafish study exposed embryos to a 50 Hz magnetic field at 100–800 μT for 1 h or 24 h daily over 5 days. The authors report no changes in hatching, mortality, or malformation rates, but report reduced spontaneous movement at 200 μT along with brain histological abnormalities. They also report increased ROS and…

Morphometric analysis - effect of the radiofrequency interface of electromagnetic field on the size of hatched Dermacentor reticulatus larvae.

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2021

This animal study examined whether exposing Dermacentor reticulatus tick eggs to 900 MHz RF-EMF for 30, 60, or 90 minutes affects the size of hatched larvae. The authors report that the 60-minute exposure group produced larvae with larger measurements across four body traits compared with unexposed controls and other…

Effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation (RF-EMF) on honey bee queen development and mating success.

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2019

This animal study exposed honey bee queen larvae to RF-EMF from a common mobile phone (GSM 900 MHz) across all pre-adult developmental stages for 14 days. The authors report a significantly reduced queen hatching ratio, while mating success was not affected. For queens that successfully mated, subsequent colony…

Genotoxic and cytotoxic effects of 50 Hz 1 mT electromagnetic field on larval rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), Baltic clam (Limecola balthica) and common ragworm (Hediste diversicolor).

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2019

This animal study assessed genotoxic and cytotoxic responses in aquatic species exposed to a 50 Hz, 1 mT electromagnetic field. Nuclear abnormality assays indicated significant increases in multiple genotoxicity endpoints across species, with the most pronounced effects in Baltic clam gill cells. Cytotoxicity…

Alterations of Immune Parameters on Trichoplusia ni (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Larvae Exposed to Extremely Low-Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2017

This animal study exposed Trichoplusia ni larvae to 60 Hz, 2.0 mT ELF-EMF for 24, 48, or 72 hours and assessed immune parameters and fertility. The abstract reports no effect on life cycle and fertility after 24 hours, but several immune-related measures changed after 48–72 hours, including reduced hemolymph protein…

Effect of 60 minutes exposure to electromagnetic field on fecundity, learning and memory, speed of movement and whole body protein of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster.

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2012

This animal study exposed Drosophila melanogaster to EMF from four electrical devices for 60 minutes and assessed fecundity, larval behavior, and protein patterns. The authors report no significant effect on adult fecundity, but report changes in larval learning/memory and movement speed, with the largest effects in…
