How strong is the association between pesticide exposure and increased risk for Parkinson's disease and how do we translate this association into therapeutic strategies?
Certain pesticides, including paraquat, rotenone and maneb, have been linked to increased risk for PD. How strong is this association and how does it compare to other known risk factors (such as genetic factors)? What is known about the mechanisms linking pesticide exposure to PD pathogenesis and can this knowledge be translated into actual therapeutic strategies?
