Abstract: Permethrin is a highly effective insecticide with low toxicity. The effects of permethrin on embryos or fetuses in the mother’s uterus can be observed through traditional teratogenicity tests,so as to evaluate the embryonic toxicity and teratogenicity of permethrin. The traditional teratogenic tests of permethrin are summarized to provide theoretical reference for further research on reproductive toxicity of permethrin.

Key words: permethrin, reproductive toxicity, pregnancy, traditional teratogenesis
