Shlosberg A, Lublin A, Bahat O, Heymann GD, Hanji V, Bellaiche M, Mechani S, Nyska A: Percutaneous exposure to ethyl parathion in a feral Griffon vulture (Gyps fulvus). Vet Hum Toxicol. 1994 Jun;36(3):224-6.
A feral Griffon vulture (Gyps fulvus) was found with tremors, weakness, digit and wing flexion, and an inability to fly. A zero blood cholinesterase activity and a favorable response to treatment with pralidoxime hydrochloride indicated exposure to an anticholinergic pesticide. The bird died after 7 d, and traces of the organophosphate insecticide ethyl parathion were found in the liver and from a blue discolored skin area of the neck. Continuous exposure to ethyl parathion through dermal absorption was presumed the cause of death of the vulture. |
