In the current study, to investigate the effect of imidacloprid on benthic bivalves, adult Asian clams (Corbicula fluminea) were exposed to 0, 20, 200, and 2000 mu g/L imidacloprid for 30 d. Imidacloprid significantly inhibited the siphoning and burrowing behaviour (p < 0.05) of the clams. Significant histopathological changes were associated with degeneration of the cilium, the contraction and adhesion of the lymphocyte, and the swelling of epithelium cells in gills, and there was notable degeneration in the digestive tubules, haemolytic infiltration in the connective tissue and epithelial cell necrosis in the digestive glands in the 2000 mu g/L treatment group. The activity of AChE in the digestive glands was significantly inhibited at all treatment levels, whereas this inhibition was observed in gills only in the 2000 mu g/L treatment (p < 0.05). Additionally, indicators of the antioxidant system (e.g., SOD, CAT, and GST activity) and MDA content were significantly increased in the gills and digestive glands with all treatments (p < 0.05). Moreover, the mRNA expression levels of Hsp genes (hsp 22, hsp 40, hsp 60, hsp 70, hsp 90) and multixenobiotic resistance (MXR) system-related genes (abcb1, abcc1) were significantly downregulated (p < 0.05). Therefore, our results suggest that imidacloprid changes the oxidative stress, cellular detoxification, and MXR system of C. fluminea. Our findings provide new insights into the effects of neonicotinoids on benthic bivalves such as C. fluminea.
