ABSTRACT

All ecosystems, including humans, animals, and insects, are secretly threatened by pesticides. They keep pests under control, contribute significantly to crop productivity, and shield humans from vector-borne and viral illnesses, yet they also seriously contaminate our environment. These hazardous materials can be found in plants, soil, water, air, food, and feed. Through the food chain, their residues build in humans and animals after entering plants and animal products.They destroy useful species in the ecosystem and put our lives and health in peril. This review highlights the current standing of the impact of insecticides on viral diseases in man and animals. We observed that in addition to their surroundings, people also consume these hazardous substances from the air, water, and agricultural goods. They result in mortality and a variety of illnesses, malignancies, and mutations. These substances deplete pollinator populations and damage honeybee hives. Furthermore, the extensive use of pesticides severely suppresses wildlife, birds, and soil organisms. They harm soil microbes including viruses, pollinators, animals, humans, and honeybees. In addition to having an adverse effect on human health, increased pesticide use reduces the population of helpful organisms like honey bees and pollinators. If these living things disappear, there will be a lack of food, the economy will collapse, and the need for food and feed will rise, endangering our life. Thus, fresh crises like starvation and illness undermine our affluence. To reduce vector-borne diseases in crops, it is critical to manage plant pathogen-carrying insects and mites. Pesticides are useful in controlling vector populations because they limit the number of people who can contract and spread a virus, which may reduce the prevalence of sickness. Aside from their deadly toxicity, certain pesticides have characteristics that alter feeding patterns or otherwise impede the spread of viruses.
