“…2; Table S1) that have been severely affected by the illegal use of poison (Hernández and Margalida, 2009b;Sánchez-Barbudo et al, 2012b). Differences in the percentage of confirmed poisonings among avian scavengers were less marked in a recent study of cases from the French side of the Pyrenees (range: 18-33%; Berny et al, 2015).…”

“…strychnine) followed by organophosphates and carbamates . On the French side of the Pyrenees, two (out of eight) cases of confirmed poisoning in bearded vultures were caused by anticholinesterasic compounds (Berny et al, 2015). Diazinon, chlorpyrifos and cypermethrin showed a significant reduction in residue levels after the washing procedure (Mann-Whitney tests, all p ≤ 0.003).…”

“…The European population comprises of only 170 breeding units, 117 of them located in Spain (Margalida et al, 2014); with the core stronghold area being in Aragón in north-eastern Spain (Gómez de Segura et al, 2012). Several studies have compiled details regarding poisoning cases recorded for bearded vultures from the Pyrenees Berny et al, 2015), but antiparasitics have not been thoroughly considered. Between 2004 and 2013, we investigated cases of suspected poisoning in the Pyrenees and surrounding mountains of bearded vultures and other scavenging species.…”

“…Two of the most commonly used pesticides are carbofuran and anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs). Carbofuran is one of the most popular chemicals used to poison wildlife all over the world because it is cheap and highly toxic (Ogada and Keesing 2010, Richards 2012, Berny et al 2015, Ruiz-Suárez et al 2015. In fact, some early official agricultural articles taught farmers to use a 75% carbofuran powder mixed with rice to reduce pest bird and rat populations in Taiwan (Li 1986, Ho 1994, Zhuang 1994, Chiu 1995.…”

proveniente de fragmentos de, no mínimo, seis animais diferentes, de espécies distintas (cão, gato, porco, boi, rato, camundongo e ave), isentas de suspeita de intoxicação. Realizou-se a fortificação dessas amostras biológicas, previamente homogeneizadas, com soluções contendo o praguicida e seu metabolito, 3-hidroxicarbofurano, em 6 níveis de fortificação que variaram de 6,25 a 100 µg/mL. Pesticides are responsible for intentional or unintentional exogenous poisoning, in both humans and animals, because of their broad toxicity and prompt availability, not always legally. Carbofuran is a carbamate pesticide widely used in Brazil as an insecticide and nematicide for the control of agricultural pests. It is marketed in the form of beads, commonly known as "pellet". This pesticide inhibits acetylcholinesterase enzyme on higher animals, promoting toxic effects, which can lead to death. Considering that carbofuran could be implicated in cases of exogenous poisoning of animals, in the present study we aimed to develop and validate an analytical method for detecting and/or quantifying this pesticide and its Biological samples were fortified with previously homogenized solutions containing the pesticide and its metabolite, 3-hidroxicarbofurano, in 6 fortification levels ranging from 6.25 to 100 µg/mL We evaluated the following parameters for method validation: selectivity, matrix effects, precision, accuracy, calibration curve and residual effect, limit of detection (LOD) and lower limit of quantitation (LLQ). To establish selectivity of the method, we verified the responses of interfering peaks near the retention times of analytes, which were less than 20% of the analyte response in LLQ samples. As to matrix effects, there was no significant interference between the matrices analyzed. Regarding the precision and accuracy of the method, it was observed that the coefficient of variation (CV) and the relative standard error (RSE) did not exceed the ceiling of 15%. In regard to the calibration curve, the correlation coefficient (r2) presented values that equal or exceed 0.99 in different arrays to carbofuran, while for the 3-hidroxicarbofuran two arrays -liver and stomach contents -had a value of 0.98 while the remaining matrices 0,99. The liquid-liquid extraction recovery values varied between 74.29 to 100.1% for carbofuran and between 64.72 to 100.61% for 3-hidroxicarbofuran, and LOQ of 6.25 µg/ml. We concluded that the method was adequate to identify and quantify carbofuran and its metabolite in biological samples, with adequate sensitivity and selectivity, and the validation parameters are in accordance to the suggested limits for validation of bioanalytical methods, and, thus implanted in LADTOX.
