Abstract: Accidents caused by insects of the Hymenoptera are rarely described in large animals. The attacks caused by honeybee (Apis mellifera) may cause severe consequences and its intensity changes according to the number of stings. Local and systemic reactions can occur, including progression to death. This report describes a case of honeybee attack on an equine, which took place in the city of Lages, in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil. In the clinical assessment the horse showed apathy, anorexia, head and pector… Show more

“…The reduced perfusion of the renal tissue may have reduced the glomerular filtration rate and, consequently, caused urine stasis at the proximal and distal tubules of the kidney, leading to tubular epithelial necrosis (CIANCIOLO & MOHR, 2016). This presentation is similar to what has been previously described in mass envenomation in horses (STAEMPFLI et al, 1993;LEWIS & RACKLYEFT, 2014;FONTEQUE et al, 2018). This hypothesis was supported by the histological analysis of the kidney, which revealed multiple intratubular hyaline casts intermixed by necrotic epithelial tubular cells.…”

“…Moreover, a hematological change noticed in this case was mild leukocytosis, which may be related to tissue damage and inflammation induced by bee stings in horses (LEWIS & RACKLYEFT, 2014;FONTEQUE et al, 2018), but in the present case it could be related to dexamethasone treatment, since no inflammation was histologically detected in the skin. In addition, the mare presented bilateral epistaxis, and at the necropsy disseminated hemorrhages and congestion involved multiple organs.…”

“…In equines, probable anaphylactic mediators are histamine and serotonin (Tizard, 2014). In Brazil, there are reports of honeybee attacks in various animal species (Caldas et al, 2013;Fonteque et al, 2018;Machado et al, 2018;Milbradt et al, 2017;Pessoa et al, 2014;Ribeiro et al, 2020;Souza, 2018;Veado et al, 2020), however, to the best of our knowledge, there are no reports of donkeys attacked by Africanized honeybees in this country, thus this paper aims to describe clinical and anatomic pathology changes in a case of anaphylactic shock due to few honeybee stings in a donkey.…”

“…Accidental bites due to Hymenoptera order insects occurs commonly in human beings (Langley and Morrow, 1997;Vetter et al, 1999), but are infrequently observed in veterinary routine (Fighera et al, 2007) and few cases are described in equines in Brazil (Fonteque et al, 2018;Ribeiro et al, 2020;Veado et al, 2020). Most important insects of that order are grouped into three superfamilies: Apoidea (honeybees, 20,000 species), Vespoidea (wasps, 15,000 species) and *Corresponding author: alexandre.arenales88@gmail.com Submitted: August 15, 20.…”
