Abstract：Objective To discuss the influence of organophosphorus pesticide on male fertility .Methods The rou-tine examination of male semen was conducted in the observation group of 45 cases who were exposed to organophosphorus pesticide and the control group of 25 cases with non-contact.And then the apoptosis of sperm was examined by terminal de-oxynucleotidyl transferase mediated deoxyuridine triphophate-biotin nick end labeling ( TUNEL) .Results The sperm con-centration of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group .Sperm motility index ( including a grade sperm rate , b-sperm rate, c-sperm rate and d-sperm rate)and sperm motility assessment projects (including curve speed, line speed, average path velocity and average moving angle ) were significantly lower , but the apoptosis rate was higher in the observation group than those of the control group , significant differences were found (all P<0.01).Conclu-sions That Long-term exposure to organophosphate pesticides can lead semen quality to decline and sperm apoptosis to in -crease, which would make male infertility .
