Animal Pesticide Poisoning in Tunisia

et al. 2019

During the period from 2014 to 2017, a retrospective study on pesticide poisoning in domestic animals and livestock was compiled and then analyzed. A total of 71 pesticide analyses have been submitted to the Pharmacy and Toxicology Laboratory of the School of Veterinary Medicine of Sidi Thabet in Tunisia. All the cases were first referred either through the clinical and/or pathological departments of the Veterinary School, the private and/or governmental veterinarians or directly by the pet owners. Among the total number of the suspected samples, 21 (29.6%) cases were found positive for various kinds of pesticides. Carbamate insecticides were the most frequently implicated pesticide (52.4% of the total positive cases), followed by organophosphate insecticides (19%), then rodenticides-anticoagulants and rodenticides non-anticoagulants (14.3% each). Therefore, carbamates and organophosphates are the most implicated group of pesticides in intoxications (71.4%). Among the 21 positive cases were 11 dogs, 4 cats, 3 poultry, 2 ruminants, and 1 case of bee poisoning. Partition chromatography (HPLC) has been used to characterize the incriminated pesticides. The aim of this survey was to determine incidence and characteristics of pesticide poisoning in domestic and farm animals in Tunisia. The reported results are useful for epidemiological cartography and medical management of intoxicated animals.

“…In France, in 2003 the CNITV received 72 enquiries on Araceae, and ∼30% of these were related to Dieffenbachia (1), whereas a survey on the activity of CNITV by Keck et al indicated this plant as a frequent culprit of small animal poisoning (9). Cases have been also reported in Italy to the CAV (10,13).…”

“…In France (1), this species has been described as the most frequently implicated in plant poisoning episodes, accounting for 43 calls (5% of the enquiries concerning plants) received by the CNITV, while Keck et al in their survey on the activity of the center, reported Ficus among the often ingested plants by small animals (9). In Italy, Giuliano Albo, and Nebbia indicated Ficus spp.…”

“…Poisoning incidents in companion animals related to indoor plant exposures are far from uncommon in Europe ( 1 – 5 ) ( Table 1 ). Data from the European literature show that 5–6% ( 2 , 3 ) to 11% ( 9 ) of the enquiries on pet poisoning received by poison centers are related to plants. These episodes involve both mature and younger animals which may be led to the ingestion of plant parts by boredom, behavioral alterations, or curiosity ( 5 ), and are becoming increasingly frequent nowadays since pets are more often allowed and kept indoor, sharing the domestic environment with their owner.…”

Indoor Companion Animal Poisoning by Plants in Europe

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Indoor plant poisoning poses serious threats to companion animals. One of the major reasons of this kind of hazard can be identified in the increased amount of time that the pets spend indoor, sharing the domestic environment with their owners. In this review, the toxic houseplants most commonly associated with companion animal poisoning in Europe and well-documented in the literature are emphasized. An analysis of the major and emerging plant species accountable for companion animal poisoning is proposed, in order to provide a framework of the factors influencing these incidents. Indeed, knowing the way substances may induce toxic effects in companion animals can be useful in allowing easier diagnosis and treatment processes. In conclusion, the Authors argue that a better characterization of the phenomenon, as well as of its extent, would be allowed by the availability of a centralized system for the data collection. Furthermore, better information and awareness on the issue may help developing a focused corrective approach to prevent indoor pet poisoning in Europe.

“…Although the real impact is not well noticed, it is considered to cause more considerable economic losses in meat farms than viruses, parasites and bacteria together [ 4 ]. Data from the Centre National d’Informations Toxicologiques Vétérinaires (CNITV) in Lyon, France, showed 11% of domestic animal poisoning to be attributable to plants [ 5 ], while the Poison Control Centre of Milan showed that plant poisoning accounted for 5.5% [ 4 ]. In these studies, all domestic animals were included.…”

Anaemia in Ruminants Caused by Plant Consumption

Plant toxicology has affected animals throughout evolution. Plants have adapted themselves to the environment. This adaptation has led to the development of defensive strategies to avoid being consumed. Plants have several chemical compounds, which can cause deleterious effects on people or animals that consume them, causing a wide variety of clinical signs. Plants from various latitudes, both cultivated for human and animal feeding or decorative purpose and even wild growth plants are able to generate anaemia in ruminants. Coumarins or ptaquiloside predispose bleeding and haemorrhages, causing a haemorrhagic disease in affected animals. In this group, some important fodder plants, such sweet clover (Genus Melilotus spp.), or other weeds distributed worldwide, such as bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum) of giant fennel (Ferula communis), are included. On the other hand, sulfur-containing chemicals (e.g., n-propyl disulfate and S-propyl cysteine sulfoxides (SMCOs)) may cause severe direct damage to the erythrocyte and their membrane, leading to their destruction and causing haemolytic anaemia in the animal. This review presents the most frequent intoxication by plants causing anaemia in ruminants. Toxic compounds, clinical signs, diagnosis and possible treatments are also presented.
