Impairment of spermatogenesis was observed following the administration of organophosphorus pesticides [Gusathion A and Tamaron, Bayer] to sexually-mature male rabbits, as demonstrated by semen analyses and testicular histopathology. The possible implications of these findings are discussed and the potential hazards of the use of pesticides on male fertility are mentioned
