Evento de Intoxicación en Perros de Zona Urbana mediante Cebos Contaminados con Aldicarb

Abstract: El objetivo de esta investigación fue implementar métodos de baja complejidad como la medición de actividad butirilcolinesterasa y cromatografía en capa fina (CCF) para identificar el agente causal de un evento de intoxicación que afectó a 45 perros de una zona urbana de la ciudad de Mendoza, Argentina. Se identificó al plaguicida aldicarb en un cebo que fue extraído de la boca de uno de los perros intoxicados. Aldicarb es un plaguicida carbamato anticolinesterásico de alta toxicidad, baja seguridad al manejo,… Show more

“…Cholinesterase activity has been used as an indicator of environmental contamination in several species and situations. In dogs, the inhibition of cholinesterase activity is an indicator of exposure to organophosphorus toxins (Ferré et al 2015) and carbamates (Saldeña et al 2017). In birds, studies have evaluated the activity of this enzyme.…”

“…Intoxication events with pesticides in humans and wild animals occur frequently (Guitart et al 2010;Sánchez-Barbudo et al 2012). In our region of Argentina, organophosphates and carbamates constitute 49% of the total cases of poisoning in people living in agricultural areas (Toxicological Information Center 2018), where aldicarb and carbofuran have been the causative agents of recent intoxications in canines and pigeons (Ferré et al 2015;Saldeña et al 2017). These latter pesticides are easily available, and the legal and illegal use of organophosphates and carbamates represents a serious threat to birds (Oropesa et al 2013).…”
