| Description | A retrospective study on pesticide poisonings in domestic animals and livestock from 2014 to 2017 submitted to the Pharmacy and Toxicology Laboratory of the School of Veterinary Medicine of Sidi Thabet in Tunisia, was compiled then analysed. During this period, a total of 71 pesticide analysis requests has been referred mainly by the Pathology Laboratory in the same School, by veterinary practitioners, regional and central governments and private owners. Among the total number of the suspected samples, 21 (29.6%) cases were found positive to contain various kinds of pesticides. Carbamate insecticides were The most frequently implicated pesticide, representing 52.4% of the total positive cases. This compound was followed by organophosphate insecticides (19%), then by rodenticides-anticoagulants and rodenticides non-anticoagulants with 14.3% of the positive results each. Therefore, insecticides are the most incriminated group of pesticides in intoxications (71.4%). Among the 21 positive cases, 52% were dogs, 19% cats, 14% poultry,10% ruminants and 5% other animal species (bees). Partition chromatography (HPLC) has been used to characterize the incriminated pesticides. The aim of this survey was to determine the frequency and the incidence of pesticide poisoning in domestic and farm animals in Tunisia. Then obtained results will be useful for the medical management of intoxicated animals. |
| Abstract | 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. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
