Maneb is a foliate fungicide and is a polymeric complex of manganese with the ethylene bis(dithiocarbamate) anionic ligand. It was included in a biocide ban proposed by the Swedish Chemicals Agency ^[1] and approved by the European Parliament on January 13, 2009.^[2]

It can be also used to create a toxin-based animal model of Parkinson's disease, usually in primates.^[3]
