Setting the record straight: a rebuttal to an erroneous analysis on transgenic insecticidal crops and natural enemies
Year: 2009
Type: article
Abstract: As scientists involved in risk assessment of transgenic insecticidal plants, we are greatly concerned about the publication by Lo ¨vei et al. (2009) implying that insect-protected crops based on the Cry proteins of Bacillus thuringiensis may have substantial negative impacts on non-target organisms.We believe that Lo ¨vei et al. (2009) use inappropriate and unsound methods for risk assessment that have led them to reach conclusions that are in conflict with those of several recent comprehensive reviews and metaanalyses (e.g., O'Callaghan et al. 2005;
