“…As a result, a couple of species (e.g., A. rigida and A. maritima; commonly referred either as A. rigida or A. aff. rigida) have been usually considered as responsible for bovine sudden death in different parts of the country (Tokarnia et al 1961, 1990, 1994, 1996, Tokarnia & Döbereiner 1973, 1985, Medeiros et al 2002, Silva et al 2006, Melo et al 2008, Vasconcelos et al 2008, Assis et al 2009, Garcez et al 2009, Lago et al 2009, Borboleta et al 2011, Nogueira et al 2011, Schons et al 2011, Lee et al 2012, Becker et al 2013, Duarte et al 2013, Neto et al 2013, Pessoa et al 2013, Barros & Meneguetti 2014 et al 2017). Recently, broad phytochemical studies have identified monofluoracetate as the compound responsible for Amorimia's toxicity to mammals (Lee et al 2012).…”
