Neurotoxicidad retardada por pesticidas en bovinos
A natural case of delayed neurotoxicity by pesticides in bovines of lbague Tolima (Colombia) is reported. 17 adults zebu cattle showed posterior limbs ataxia, progressive paralisis, lateral decubitus muscular atrophy and opisthotonos. From those animals only eight were submitted to rigorous clinical exam, assays of some treatments and determination of colinesterase. The eight animals were slaughtered and toxicologic and histopathologic analysis were carried out. Inhibition of blood colinesterase and high concentrations of carbamates and organochlorides in viscera nervous and muscular tissues were demonstrated as well as nervous and muscular lesiones were seen.

| Summary: | A natural case of delayed neurotoxicity by pesticides in bovines of lbague Tolima (Colombia) is reported. 17 adults zebu cattle showed posterior limbs
ataxia, progressive paralisis, lateral decubitus muscular
atrophy and opisthotonos. From those animals only
eight were submitted to rigorous clinical exam, assays
of some treatments and determination of colinesterase.
The eight animals were slaughtered and toxicologic
and histopathologic analysis were carried out. Inhibition of blood colinesterase and high concentrations of
carbamates and organochlorides in viscera nervous
and muscular tissues were demonstrated as well as
nervous and muscular lesiones were seen. |
